minus-square@Furbaglink2•8 months ago The big step forward IMHO is that there’s no privileged party that has an advantage manipulating the price. Until Elon Musk tweets out that he will exchange Tesla vehicles for Bitcoin or that Dogecoin is a good investment. Digital currencies are somehow worse than gambling unless you’re famous enough to do a pump-and-dump.
