Dont know anything about blockchain except it was the rage years ago. If some noname company did a new release saying they now focusing on blockchain (ie. long island tea company), the stock zoomed up like crazy.

My bro was a VP finance at his old company and he said (this was years ago so maybe it's different now), that no bank would ever consider blockchain seriously since it takes too long to validate stuff going through the chain.

What do you think housing is itself? You're gambling on long term real estate. Volatility is through the roof as well or is FIAT inflation priced in to price us all our of buying one?

Look into Tokenization of assets. Bitcoin itself is now used as a hedge or to borrow loans.

Housing trends up over time unless someone lives in a terrible town or a dumpy neighbourhood. Crytpo has wild swings up and down, and a lot of those noname cryptocoins have disappeared.

When Musk was promoting selling Tesla cars using crypto, it was when Bitcoin was about $60k. It dropped to around $35-40k and he stopped the promo asap.

The value of solid currencies (not wacky countries) dont go up or down 50% in a year.

Lmao you need to read up on economics. 40% of all USD has been printed since 2019. Let that sink in

There was never anything wrong with web2 except for money, something that web3 intends to be made out of.

I'll take this moment to suggest that y'all check out hypnospace outlaw, and will personally pour one out for the gaming forums that are either no longer with us or are shadows do their former selves.

That was in response to if they care or not.

Stop conflating things. Banks using software that has ledger like capability != to blockchain. The block chain is immutable and dosen't have the greedy 3rd party hands (banks) all over it which is what's actually manipulated.


Let me ask you this. Does the your bank actually hold the money you and your fellow members have deposited within? The answer is no. I was going to go on a long explanation for you but at this point I'm just sick of responding to you because you are clearly either arguing in bad faith or ignorant on the subject.

Some might have forgotten how people were spending millions of NFTs like these, just a few years ago.
Soon, the scheme came crashing down and people lost all their money.
It was a bigger scam than even the Beanie Babies.

blockchain is already used privately by banks and has nothing to do with bitcoins adoption or its price

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Comparing tokens to investing in actual houses for actual people is among the wildest stuff I have read this year.

Again conflating 2 separate things.

Show me evidence of this please, which banks are using which blockchains for which transactions?

 

[Danknugz]

google it i'm don't have time to spoon feed it to you. blockchain is just a technology that can be implemented, you use the term "The Blockchain" as if it's a single thing that everyone has to use.
