Crypto is dead as a technology; it’s now just a casino for people who hate working
Let’s be honest while no one is watching (or before this disappears in 25 hours): Bitcoin has failed its original mission. It’s no longer "Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash." It’s a heavy digital rock that nobody uses to buy coffee; you just hide it in a drawer hoping a "greater fool" will buy it from you for more money later. We went from "decentralizing the world" to creating dog-themed Memecoins that burn the energy of a small city just so four influencers can get rich off the hopes of the working class.
My thesis for this debate:
- Zero real-world utility: After 15 years, the greatest use case for blockchain is still... blockchain itself. If crypto disappeared tomorrow, your daily life (buying bread, paying rent, Netflix) wouldn't change at all.
- Decentralization is a myth: 1% of the whales control the market. It’s the same old banking system, just without the customer service for when your wallet gets drained.
- It’s a Ponzi scheme with better UI: If the flow of "new believers" stops, the whole house of cards collapses.
Does anyone have a real argument (that isn't "the price will moon") to convince me this isn't the biggest collective scam in history? You have 25 hours before this truth vanishes.

7Spoken like a true 'no-coiner' who missed the bus at $16k. You’re calling it a 'casino' because you don't understand the underlying protocol. While you’re crying about 'utility,' the entire financial system is being rewritten on-chain.
Fiat is literally melting at 5-10% inflation per year, and you think Bitcoin is the scam? Laughable. It’s not about 'buying coffee,' it’s about having an exit ramp from a corrupt banking system that can freeze your assets at any moment.
Go back to your 2% savings account and let the adults handle the future of money. See you at $150k

not enough people are talking about or even realize that crypto is 100% absolutely necessary in order for AI agents to transact.
Aside from stuff like ya know, the new financial rails being built on blockchain…. the whole “ai agent and crypto going hand in hand “ thing is more than enough to beat your bank tellers yearly 1.5% savings account.
what an awful writeup and shows you have zero clue what you are talking about.
hey anons… no more comments so this post goes in the trash where it belongs.
100% agree with this. Crypto started with good intentions but its just become a fade trend for " Crypto-Bros " to monetize educating newcomers into getting into a market that literally takes a few clicks to utilize. There are no real uses for crypto other than for nefarious reasons. Its a tool to hide money and thats all it will ever be, so go buy your sheets of acid and your backpage hookers with it and be done with this nonsense.
You are 100% correct. Would would be the price of bitcoin if you owned all of it? An honest answer to this question settles the debate.
I agree, this tech was created in 2002, it failed to do what it was trying to do. Do people think there won’t be new, better ways to do this in the future in the age of AI?
it’s now just a speculative asset that dumb finance bros hold onto, hoping there is an even dumber finance bro that will buy it for more in the future.
good luck losers
He’s not talking about the chain, he’s talking about Bitcoin. Keep the convo on that. Bitcoin is a meme coin.
