Apparently anonymous failed to envision many purchased hard assets, real estate and commodities with crypto profits. Better armed to fight an adversary with wealth than poverty.
Fiat/Crypto arguments remind me a lot when Amazon tried to push intangible books with their e-readers. There was much pushback on hard-books vs digital-books. And.... decades later, we still have people arguing about it. True, most cryptos suck and just waste your wealth, just like most digital books suck and self-published crap just wastes your time reading it. But digital money/books is here to stay, regardless of the downsides.
