If your knowledge was on par with your arrogance you might have something to go on, but it isn't.
Instead of trying to turn it back on me, why don't you explain exactly and precisely what your problem with crypto is? Why do you feel crypto is less safe and less dependable than fiat currency?
Money can be forged. Bank accounts can be stripped. Identities can be stolen. Credit can be hijacked. Fiat currency is meaningless the moment people stop believing in it. How secure are any of those compared to a bitcoin wallet stored offline on my own device?
You think quantum computers are a threat to crypto? Why don't you tell me why banks, credit cards, and identities are any better? Do you honestly think quantum computers cant be used to hack financial institutions? Are they more safe than a wallet stored offline on my own device?
Please explain, and try to do so with something other than "haha" and "we in the tech sector". You know, verifiable facts and other forms of proof you seem to avoid at all costs...

Not everyone owns Tesla stock or Bullion either, most people I talk to about gold wouldn’t have a clue of its price, hasn’t stopped its relative value as a trade instrument increasing consistently for a thousand years despite the fall of empires.

Can you elaborate on how it’s ‘pegged’ to the dollar?

All investments are speculative, the game is to turn currency into physical assets.
I invested because I understood the technology and could see it’s potential, I’ve then used the profits from these trades to improve my overall wealth and diversify my portfolio.
Just because you lack technical knowledge and any kind of foresight doesn’t make me stupid or lucky. Someone who claims they don’t regret missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime suggests at least a smidgen of bitterness.
Bitcoin could very well set me up for early retirement, how stupid of me, I’ll remember that as I’m chilling on the porch with a whisky and cigar.

Yes, your brutal assassination made me cry, I’m mopping it up with £50 notes as we speak.
Stupid old me could buy you 100x over.
Create a wallet and send me the public address, I’ll send you some bitcoin and you can come back in a year and thank me?
Or, reject free money and let your ego get in the way.
