A crypto currency is like any other. Sticks for example. Beads. Pelts. "currency" is just a barter system as well. It only works if there's a trade system for it. I might have a bunch of pretty shiny charcoal. It's just pretty shiny charcoal unless someone will give me something in return for it. Might be a trout to grill up., or some bones to play 3-Man with Doesn't much matter as long as it's usably tradeable. And CONTINUES to be at a rate that's tradeable.

I've got a shitload of penny's - when are they going to be worth $1000? They're not. But that doesn't mean I toss pennies away.

That's what annoys me about most/all "crypto" currencies. They're mostly worthless because they're worth is either undertimned or not known.

I don't know. But, yeah, I'd like to see a crypto currency that is worth something more than trading. Like any currency, sure, it will fluctuate. But like any USEABLE currency, it should fluctuate around a line. That's called stability. If a coin is worth 1000 one day, 1/1000 the next, 500 the day after, it's useless to me.  It's the same as holding on to $1 dollar bills in case they may eventually become worth more than one dollar.
