Dude, the days of self-sufficient cashiers are over. Not only can they not count change in their heads, a problem that has been going on for years and years, but they would not know the hell to do if power went out and needed to charge to a card. As mentioned above, embossing is practically gone so the CC swipe bars and carbon paper are not an option. Writing information down and entering it into a POS terminal when the power comes back up? BWHAHHAHA! In what century do you think we live in? The 20th? HAHH
Not sure why you are in an "either/or" frame between BTC and ES. As you have admitted, your specific strategy doesn't port. Do you understand that most BTC trading happens off-chain? Trading the ES is great. There are just some of us whom want to understand the future that is crystalizing into the present with these technologies. Having an in depth understanding of these exponential technologies that can scale reduces risk. Tbh, you sound a bit like floor traders before ECN's put them out of a job.
A better analogy is that younger Crypto investors have not gone through a dot com type crash like older investors did. Lots of parallels between Cryptos and dot coms of the late 90s and early 2000s. I imagine there will be a crash at some point similar to the dot com crash in the Crypto space. Whether a Crypto company with some kind of usefulness arises like Google or Amazon only time will tell.
What are you using as your data source? https://fortune.com/2018/09/12/bitcoin-cryptocurrency-crash-dotcom-bubble/
Fack outta here. You're talking nonsense. Bitcoin retraced +80%. The Nasdaq retraced approx 75%. But I guess you were "right". Crypto crashed worse.
