I am still here because I look at the fucking volume. Volume doesn't lie. There might never be such a bull-run like in 2017, but there is a lot of interest in crypto, esp ETH 2.0. And at some point, price will move.

I'd be damned if I collected shiny heavy metals or dead boomer ETFs while one of the most interesting stories in money was playing out at the same time.

Stocks represent shares of actual companies with employees, with assets, with REAL cashflow.

Shitcoins represent nothing at all.

Shitcoins represent share in their respective networks. This doesn't mean shit for tokens, but it means a lot for eg. ETH which is both a share in the network and gas for transactions.

I disagree completely utility drives value and there’s massive amounts of utility. Further more a ton of public companies have negative earnings and can hardly justify the existence of value chain (this we’re seeing a transfer of value)

At the end of the day when I own a large publicly traded company I own something real and tangible that will continue to exist for the foreseeable future.

Crypto is just a great way to extract money from psuedo-intellectuals who get sold easily on buzzwords, the ultimate /biz/ move would be to have started an exchange years ago and run off with the money claiming you got "hacked"

And yeah dude a shitcoin literally no one uses for any transactions or anything else except waiting for it to 1000x in value totally has just as much value as Oil which is used in just about every manufacturing process. I'm definitely the brainlet here.

Yeah, imagine if Enroncoin had happened in the space of publicly traded companies, impossible.

I mean, you kinda have a point that stocks exist for much longer and therefore, there is a lot of shareholder protections. But at the end of the day, it only helps you that much.
If a company does stock-buybacks higher than the profits, things will come tumbling down https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-16/u-s-airlines-spent-96-of-free-cash-flow-on-buybacks-chart

You are also right concerning true shitcoins with a valuation of $5m or less. But you are dead wrong concerning ETH, there is real and true economic activity on that chain and it is not going to go away any time soon. It's like a bluechip stock, just in crypto - you know it will be around 5y down the road.

for your information
YOU don't own a piece of a large company
your broker owns it and he is not legally obligated to give you shit
look up the fine print of your contract if the broker gets into debts with its primary dealer they are free to loot everything to pay of the primary broker, funny how classlawfare works isn't it

crypto at least has the advantage over all other asset classes that you, the final owner own it clear and without storage fees, transfering and veryfiying realness is also quite easy

tl;dr don't trsut boomer equities they have grown fat and are ripe for the harvest

Wrong.

In Canada your brokerage accounts are insured by the CIPF if your broker goes bankrupt for $1 million CAD for unregistered and TFSAs, and an additional $1 million CAD for RRSP's. You can also have accounts at different institutions as each account is insured for $1 million.
