Considering how they're clamping down on anonymity wherever they can, crypto wasnt going to escape their clutches for very long. How long before its seperated from it original aim and just turned into a gambling token.

Original aim was that people don't deposit Bitcoins into a bank, Coinbase etc, but use it to freely transact between themselves, outside of gov control.

Always has been.

I mean it was useful for online gaming related transactions, like 15 years ago.

Ever since it has become a more obvious scam with every passing year.

Today you can barely post about it on most major platforms without immediately spawning multiple spam comments trying to part you from your money.

Real value crypto adds to the economy: ~0.

Once this scam inevitable comes crashing down, it will probably take the stock market with it. And all for nothing but the enrichment of early crypto adopters.
