Can you not keep your wallet on a normal USB stick or your hard drive anymore. Thats the thing that makes this all kind of confusing I guess right now it seems like its similar to investing in stock but with a couple extra websites. Wallet is like your bank account, but then you need another site to transfer to an exchange, buy the stuff, transfer it back to the transfer site and then back to your wallet. Not like investing where you put cash money into the investment website and then buy and sell your **** from that one site and keep your balance there. If like a wallet site could directly integrate the other two things it would probably decimate the other types of sites. Unless theres a site like this that I havent found.

The thing about digital currency is that you are your own bank. You are responsible for your own ****. No big brother watching over you. There are so many stories of people losing their private keys and their fortune of bitcoin. On the other hand, if you keep hold of all your own crypto, and only send crypto directly to other people, it is basically impossible to tax

I fully understand Fiat money and how it works. Something is only worth what someone is willing to give you for it. If there is a scare and people dump Bitcoin for cash then no matter what you paid for it you won't be able to get much for it. It doesn't matter what you think it's worth or what someone on the internet says it's worth if no one is willing to give you anything for what you got. It's about supply and demand as you have stated. I'm simply saying that if confidence in it falls then there will be little demand. The dollar is well valued because people have confidence it won't suddenly fall. If Bitcoin drops to $8,000 next week the casual investors may flee end dump their shares possibly driving it down to 4000. That might **** off the more serious investors and they may dump some of theirs as they watch the value in free fall........
It feels like a pyramid scheme.
There is a decent article on it here.

This matches my gut feeling, which is why I have stayed completely away from bitcoin and similar stuff.

Yea, I'm paying $0.40kWh.... No mining for me.
Love watching news and tickers though:
Why on paper? Because he is rich only in his own monopoly game and he doesn't actually have 44 billion

I just jumped into the pool - literally in mining talk. Bought a Vega 64 to run my 3 1440 monitors for iracing - but since my sim isn't there yet, decided to wade into the crypto waters.... man... it's deep! So now I'm at 2050 h/s for XMR using cast_xmr miner... and my piwer is cheap... like .08kwh cheap. Now if only Monero gains in value
