And Has completely stopped all law enforcement around cryptocurrency.
So yeah you're going to have a bubble. Nasty one. And pretty soon cryptocurrency will get integrated directly into the economy and Wall Street.
This is not some Nostradamus like prediction, it's a mere statement of things already happening. Every larger financial institution of the US has issued Bitcoin ETFs or similar products, you can buy stocks of companies engaging in crypto mining or which just hold cryptos. What you describe as harbinger of a pending catastrophe has already happened and it's clearly not a catastrophe.
You will eventually see the same kind of nasty little finance products that cause to 2008 market crash only backed by imaginary funny money instead of houses.
When that happens the resulting crash is going to make 2008 look like the good times of the .com bubble.
I know nobody believes this but mark my words in 4 years half of you will have lost your houses. Six if you're lucky.
I've been reading crypto currency related comments for many years now on Slashdot, and they all pretty much sound like your comments here. "It's a ponzi scheme", "It's backed by thin air", "It will bankrupt our economy", the doomsday predictions keep coming in and nothing of the kind happened. Bitcoin went through massive boom and bust cycles throughout its history, and the world and the economy and Bitcoin just kept humming along.
Anyone listening to this ongoing "expert" drivel, how bad and baseless Bitcoin is, lost out on opportunities to make massive amounts of money in the last 10 years. Do you really expect people will continue listening to you about this? Will Jim Cramer and you reimburse those whom you led astray with your ongoing narrative?
