While this is coming from the perspective of someone with fuck all disposable income, I think plowing my money into a 2p machine would be a more secure investment

I converted about £50 to buy weed online ended left with around 3.50 change which isn’t worth getting converted back into £… I guess that makes me one in five.
I’ve got a bit in it, because I like to have a tiny %age of my portfolio in different things, but I’d thoroughly recommend the average person to steer clear. Even if crypto pays off, plenty of people will lose their investments due to scams, rug pulls, etc. Recently saw revolut do crypto, thought that would be a relatively good place to buy (safer than a pure crypto place)
Guess we now know one in seven, the title is a lie, are stupid.
I’ve got a bit in on it but the more I see the less convinced I am. Like most people I dipped a toe in to get some sweet bud from the web, the uncontrolled digital cash use-case seemed very promising. But when I see the more recent uses with NFTs (idiotic) and the big players getting involved, it is just going to become credit cards mk2. The energy costs for the proof of work schemes is also unconscionable.

Nonsense, utter, utter nonsense.
I know one person, one person, who owns anything – and that is what they acquired a few years back and are just sitting on it for interest.
Everyone else wouldn’t know the difference between cryptocurrency and a smack on the back of the head.
Now I might know a unique group of people, but I seriously doubt it.
I’m early 20s and a lot of people who you wouldn’t expect and aren’t even into tech hold some crypto. I expect that crypto owners are heavily skewed toward the younger age groups.
