Absolutely! 100%, twice over. What a thing is is real. What a thing could be is limited only by one's imagination, and my imagination with regard to crypto has been burned to the tune of $1.7 trillion as of May, 2022[0].

If you'd started with the disclosure of your money-colored sunglasses, you'd have saved everybody here the time of reading your comments.

cryptocurrency has no credibility with respect to "what could be". Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are full of hype and bluster with nothing to show for it except a massive ecosystem of wasteeful scams, theft, and fraud.

Mostly yeah. Otherwise we get issues like neoliberalism.
