Crypto has value because people like to do crimes.

The people wielding the guns are also paid with that "let's pretend this is worth something" currency.

Bitcoin surged this week on two fake announcements.

Kroger

Walmart

The crypto market just looks so secure and perfect. Why wouldn't anyone put all of their money into this "currency" that appears to be by and for criminals? :D

I thought this was a trailer for a Martian sequel at first, when it aired before Eternals.

#DOGETOTHEMOON is trending, so... :D

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would risk real money (money you can't afford to lose) in crypto at this point. Extra money? Absolutely, but investing real money into this volatile market has to be pretty nerve racking.

Matt Damon is trending on Twitter right now thanks to the commercials he's been doing for crypto.com. The sentiment is that he's a money hungry douche and the campaign is pretty off the mark. Some examples below.
