Is there a workaround for this paywall?
Utterly miserable waste of everyone's bandwidth. But that's media for you...
Given the somewhat clickbaity headline, this piece is straight to the point and surprisingly sober. I found this to be the central thesis: > If anything, crypto is more likely to hurt the currencies of countries that are doing very poorly, such as Venezuela. Fiat currency won’t just go away, so over the long run crypto could actually boost the value of the dollar by stifling the rise of potential competitors. ...and…
The problem is, everyone seems to equate noobs getting suckered by Musk with the 'crypto crowd'. I feel bad for them, but it's like saying /r/wallstreetbets are 'investors'.
P.S. - And where do they keep getting this 'fiat is going away' bull from? I honestly don't know anyone in crypto that thinks this? Yes, I see crap on youtube pumping stuff like this - is that now what the bar is? "I saw it on youtube" ?

Anyone who thinks crypto prices will continue to rise forever is not 'the crypto crowd'. 'The crypto crowd' has seen bitcoin go up and down countless times.

In todays society? Sadly, yes.
You go be pro cryptocurrency and still hate cryptocurrency
