If the bitcoin network has screwed me, and it hasn't so far as I'm not speculating, it that it hasn't really lived up to its hype of being either a currency or a store of value. Granted I can buy goods and services with my bitcoin, not unlike I can buy goods and services with my Canadian dollar. But to my knowledge there are no goods and services priced in bitcoin. As far as a store of value, it's more a speculative asset. If I knew I was going to need 100k in 3 months from now I'd keep it in cash. Had I bought bitcoin a year ago on the hype, I'd probably feel I'd been screwed.
If it is effectively worthless but for the blind faith of relative newcomers propping it up, well, it sure quacks like a duck.

Robert Reich is a former US Secretary of Labor. He served under President Clinton. His YouTube videos may well be garbage. I don't watch that kind of stuff. I do sometimes read his columns on The Guardian, like this one: https://www.theguardian.com/comment...h-democracy-attack-media-coverage-republicans
