Bitcoin "is a fucking toy" when compared to VISA and yet in it's realm it has done quite well at being better than cash for many things. I know a guy who purchased land by taking it across international borders. I've used it multiple times for things VISA was not useful for.
Bitcoin has maxed out it's design at 1/10000 of the volume that VISA does daily.
The entire crypto space is a "toy" in the sense that it's a Zero Sum Game...
Where 2% of the players have made off with all the money... and 98% are bagholders in denial.
Stocks, forex, poker, sports betting, crypto... it's all 2% winners and 98% bagholders.
