There is a Spanish idiom you use to say you were daydreaming: "pensando en la inmortalidad del cangrejo" which means, "pondering the immortality of the crab"

gently caress I got stitched up today. My brother asked if I could give him a hand to move some top soil today because his fiance is pregnant. Sure I says, being the helpful chap I am. Text him this morning - hey what are we moving today? 2 cubic metres of soil, one of mulch and one of manure.

Going to spend my saturday literally shovelling poo poo. The things we do for family.

worth? there's zero because there's no real value there. that amount of paper "value" disappearing? absolutely because the crypto bubble makes every other bubble look like child's play.

"Market value" takes the most recent transaction amount for one (or a few) shares of something and presumes all of the shares are worth that. It's like if someone anywhere in the world paid $1000 for a beanie baby on eBay, we now magically assign a $1000 value to every existing beanie baby, and just ignore that there aren't millions of people with millions of dollars clamoring to all pay exactly $1000 for every beanie baby on earth.

This is exactly how e.g. Musk, Gates, etc. are supposedly worth hundreds of billions, too: they own shitloads of stock, and of course they periodically sell some, they could totally reap a few billion if they sold all their stock at once but they absolutely could not convert their entire holding into cash in the space of a few weeks or even months and reap that full quoted valuation, because dumping that much stock onto the market would drive down the price.

With crypto, the valuations are even more suspect. For one thing, a huge amount of bitcoin etc. is essentially destroyed/lost/vanished, but these valuations almost always count every single bitcoin ever mined. For another, the marketplace of people willing to shell out huge piles of cash to speculate on bitcoin is far more limited; and for a third, the glacial pace of actual bitcoin transactions means that the only way to handle huge volumes of exchange is via third-party exchanges, and those exchanges have a maximum amount of real-world cash they could hand out to their clients if those clients started selling coins and trying to cash out. In other words, there's no protection against a "run on the bank" with these exchanges, and no government FDIC type insurance backing them up so if a significant fraction of crypto holders ever tried to all cash out at once, the crash in price will occur more precipitously than it does with stock or real currency.

So yeah there's not a trillion dollars "worth" of crypto; but there's totally several trillion of theoretical market value, which crypto-heads absolutely treat as if it were real money.

If you had some bitcoin in 2009 and somehow managed to not lose it or have it stolen then yes, you would be alright. very few people actually did that except the criminals stealing them from everyone.

there are always bubbles you could make money in. Crypto speculation is no different than any other bubble, and in fact has already bulged out and popped many times in dramatic fashion over the years.

It's gonna disappear faster than you think with the mandatory KYC stuff people have to start doing jan 2024. it sucks that the reg process for that is so drawn out, but a massive amount of the money involved is going to disappear before then because they do not want to report anything to federal authorities for obvious reasons.

You say that but the dude I dated who a)stuck his dick in a toaster oven and b) never drained his pasta because he didn't understand the concept of sauce once made tacos and hosed it up because he burnt the ground beef didn't use any seasoning at all, and mixed together canned diced tomatoes and corn as a salsa.
