Crypto bubble? BTC is near its all time high that was last month... People tend to really over exaggerate how hard the prominent crypto currencies crash.

Edit: People seem to not understand that crypto is short hand for crypto currency, not all of everything ever made with blockchain. Swap crypto with NFTs and the meme makes sense.

Crypto was sold as a world changing technology. It hasn’t delivered.

I again think you mean blockchain.

“Crypto” is a standard (to the general public) shorthand for “cryptocurrency”. And not every cryptocurrency uses blocks so “blockchain” is not technically accurate.

Thanks for proving my point.
