Fair enough, but at the end of the day, that's why you are you and I am me. We are all different people with different sets of opinions about how the world has worked, is working, and will work. We express that through our actions in life. I have been Am and will continue to be a crypto user because I find it has value in the world and other people agree with me. I can't say what you were, are, or have been, but you have a view of the world, and think cryptocurrency is worth nothing, and you express that opinion by not using cryptocurrency.
