Crypto Currencies will never have value.

Well let me rephrase. Crypto currencies will never have value until they are used as actual currencies.

On any given day you can enter a crypto chat channel and you will see the statement “ I’m a supporter I’m not selling until $x.xx amount”. I’m sorry to tell you, you are no different then the person that sold on a quick flip. Ask yourself, what is a currency that isn’t used to purchase anything?

We have thousands of coins on the market each claiming to do something innovative and have plans of disrupting the currency economic system. Honestly only a handful are used in any economic way outvside of swing trading on exchanges.

So I’ll end with this. We won’t see crypto in its finest form until we can legitimately use our currencies as they were intended. To make purchases.

Agree with you @crypto2crypto .

  • That’s why I think decentralized market places e.g Request Network , and similar others are very useful where people can really buy and sell real products and services using different crypto currencies. Not to mention loyalty program coins “Nucleus vision” as well as “Pundix” machines distributed in coffee shops ... All these and the like projects are real world usage of crypto will lead to mainstream adoption.
  • On another hand, if we compare the crypto technology adoption to any other tech adoption the past we will find that some old generations still not comfortable to use smart phones, touch screens, or even the internet surf !! However, a mass adoption occurred to such tech. What I want to say the mass adoption will happen in the coming generation ( 10-20 years to come) where crypto , which currently used by tech savvy young and little mid age people, will be used by the children of today!
  • Things take time, but your question will always be valid “ which currencies will be alive and which will be died by that time” - Which new born crypto currencies will take over the older ones?
    Only time could tell -:)

Without the ability to transact and not be dependent fiat we cannot truly grow.

Have you heard of Mcafee fiat backed crypto ... just heard of it .. don’t know should laugh at or take it seriously as an alternative for current nothing backed fiat 😐

True. I believe every investor should do the following to solidify their understanding on crypto. Buy and split their holdings in the following buckets. Sell (understand how to get USD back). Hold (do not sell so you gain emotional strength on big moves). Buy (rather it is precious metals or travel ) learn that you can get actual items and experiences with bitcoin.

Well right now you can trasnfer crypto to REAL dollars so I guess that acutally gives them value

in which case, crypto is more like investments

No it doesn’t if you need to convert it it use it.

I think even if doesn't replace fiat I think crytpo needs to find a real world use. Tokens that can replace fiat even in limited scenarios can be the boost the cryptos need.

I really believe this can be achieved but it’s going to be a slow process.

Yup, definitely slow...........but I am hoping for steady :-)

With the many crypto currencies in the market itakes it meaningless to truly adopt any of these crypto coins as a medium of exchange im actual life. We need to adopt and stand with one or two crypto currencies and adopt as a major replacement for fiat curreencies

We have to change it. We have to bring it to the real buy and sale. If we don't, who else will does??

a couple bitcoin ATMs popped up around here but the fees are ridiculous

And they will be for a while.

Totally agree ... currency should be used

I agree in part but don’t think that an individual crypto needs to be a currency to have value. I do agree that they need to have a valid use case and actually solve a real world problem in order to generate value. The majority of the 2k cryptos currently out there do not. There will be a laglrgre degree of consolidation and if you are left holding a shite coin, you are going to hurt!
