The volatility of crypto in USD makes it unattractive and not stable to be used as a currency.

Anons to provide insight?

Also because of volatility, how can crypto be a store of value if it fluctuates so greatly on a daily basis?

It's volotile because market cap will plataue in the trillions. The high growth rate makes price discovery on the way to that market cap difficult and therefore volotile

Currencies are horrible stores of value. What makes BTC great is it's scarcity and low inflation. Transparency and security are also unique to an asset like this. BTC is a swiss bank account that no one can take from you. BTC is bought every single day in places like Argentina, Zimbabwe, Hong Kong and Venezuela by smart people trying to protect savings from inflation. You think BTC is volatile? Against the dollar, yes. Not against the Bolivar or peso, BTC always goes up against a lot of currencies. BTC is a retirement fund for smart wagecucks. Fuck being a currency, BTC will be part of every countries reserves or part of their basket to back-up a currency if we ever leave fiat only behind.
BTC is a horrible currency for our society because we want to spend and invest our $ at exponential rates. Those same central banks are why BTC goes up VS $ in every 4 year span. BTC cuts the supply and the Fed prints the demand, tokenomics bro.

SOV doesn't mean it will always goes up and there is never downwards volatility, that's just a shitcoiner or nocoiner strawman attempt (mainly from reddit mETH heads who are salty that their flippening flopped so badly). It's a sov for people with low time preference, and the network effect for that use case is just getting started. It has excellent properties that will make it a good sov long term relative to anything else.

maybe about 80% similarities but Crypto is way more transparent. When I invest in some ico, smart contract or deflationary crypto, I look up the etherscan so I can see when it was created and how many wallets own what. When someone posted here Sergey was dumping I thought it was FUD until I checked the etherscans. Gold, stocks and derivatives aren't anything close to crypto in terms of transparency and accessibility.

"55.75% of total tokens are held by the project, locked. They are stored in a smart contract referred to as the "slow wallet." Slow wallet tokens are locked, and can only be withdrawn with a one-month delay, visible on-chain, including a message from the team explaining the reason for the withdrawal. We designed this mechanism to give the project the ability to release tokens for fundraising and other purposes in the future if needed, while allowing the community time to learn about any further releases well before any new tokens enter circulation. The slow wallet is deployed here: https://etherscan.io/address/0x4903dc97816f99410e8dfff51149fa4c3cdad1b8#code"

I'd argue the fact that you shouldn't look at volatility but rather at the underlying fundamentals at both fiat and crypto, in the long run, the one which becomes widely used will be that of sound nature.

In my opinion crypto has a good underlying structure (free from manipulation) but poor adoptability, so the gamble is whether society crumbles under totalitarianism or crypto being the potential savior to enforce a sovereign world

The price of gold is not derived from industrial application.

It's not as good for transactions as people thought, because it's too slow and likely to get slower. And it's only a good store of value as long as people think it's a good store of value. When (not if) people realise it isn't, it won't be.
