RE:Cryptocurrency illusion and consequences in economy Nope!
You need tp look at the charts that overlay the BTC price with worlwide useage. The price is half of it's peak but 4 x where it was before the run.
The useage is going up every day and small countries will start to use BTC instead of FIAT currency.
FIAT Currency is not backed by anything. It's not OIL that is a commodity that they were paying you to take a few months ago. it's not Gold as they decoupled that decades ago.
Look at what happened in 2008. We almost lost the worlds ability to trade because they used Real Estate for leverage .
ETH you could have bought for under a hundred U.S. just before CV19. Today it is 20 x that amount. $100k then is $2 mil today. And you can trade it as the volume is available.
