“The tulip next appeared, all over gay,
But wanton, full of pride, and full of play;
The world can’t shew a dye but here has place;
Nay, by new mixtures, she can change her face;
Purple and gold are both beneath her care,
The richest needlework she loves to wear;
Her only study is to please the eye,
And to outshine the rest in finery.”
You want purple in 2022 it's going to cost you.

Isn't she beautiful? She can be yours for the low, low price of only $241.99.

Or, yanno... If you're not insane you can just right click and Save As.
Hell. I dunno NFT law. It's probably insane. I could probably get sued for posting this image here, so I'll just hype it up. You should DEFINITELY buy this for $241.99.

I finally made my way thru the entire article. What it says, in sum,is that there is nothing of intrinsic value backing any of the cryptocurrencies.
They consume a lot of electricity to produce nothing of material value
They can't be readily exchanged for recognized currency
They're "backed" - insofar as they have any backing at all- by equally unbacked "stable coins" which are theoretically pegged to the dollar but which have very few actual dollars in reserve. And since stable coins can be created at will, they are used to manipulate the price of various cryptos.
Since they cost more than they're worth, they depend on sucking in more "investors" to pay off the previous investors - a classic Ponzi scheme- once all of the speculation/market manipulation is wrung out of cryptos there will be literally nothing left in the ashes to recover
The same, however, can be said about ANY fiat currency, which is just a piece of paper or -more often- bits in an electronic ledger. Cryptos and fiat currency share the same problems, the only difference being that one is officially approved by a government and the other is not. There are many historical examples of fiat currencies becoming worthless due to hyperinflation, proving that there is no INTRINSIC value behind even government- backed currencies.
AFA the USD, Nixon attempted to back the USD with oil (instead of gold) and that has worked remarkably well for 50 years, but unregulated money-printing by the Fed may bring that to a close.

Oh... It's terrible how much energy we waste "mining" the coin.
And the worst part about it is that it just requires exponential energy to continue to do so.
What was supposedly going to be an alternative to currency that took the power out of the hands of the elites and gave it to the plebs is just allowing another means for the elite to screw over the plebs.
Most of the biggest crypo guys and gals out there were already big in traditional finance. Even worse, some of them were already banned from the traditional market.
I'm just hoping when it all comes crashing down that it doesn't take the rest of the economy with it. It's already on life support after what we did to it over Covid.

When I first read the headline, I thought it could possibly be a good thing.
It's not.
All they're trying to do is have complete government control over Crypto.
Part of the discussion is actually creating a US Cryptocurrency.
This is terrible news.

Crowder and the AP seem to have entirely different spins on what Biden* is doing with crypto.
Bitcoin is up $282.00 today.
