I was just thinking. Do you (like me) think that BITCOIN

44. For all the supposed activity in crypto

I have never really understood how or where one converts accepted legal tender (US$, Swiss Francs, whatever), into crypto, or, perhaps more importantly, back.

But Gold, I get. It has been a convertible store of value for 2500 years. No, you can’t eat it or live in it, but there is a world-wide market with a daily buy-sell quote. Now, that, at least, is a track record.

Of course, Bitcoin's rise from $25,000 to $100,000 within a year is an undeniable track record, too. Still, if someone were to make a gift of one Bitcoin to me, I would have no idea how to convert it into something I can actually spend. A Bitcoin is “worth” $100,000? That’s nice. If I don’t know how to get $100,000 worth of anything for it, give me nine hundred genuine $100 bills for it and keep the change!
