To me, the &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; purpose of it is to make money. It&amp;#x27;s the stock market, but with less rules, and it&amp;#x27;s 24&amp;#x2F;7.&lt;p&gt;People will say that crypto is important because it&amp;#x27;s decentralized and non-fiat or whatever, with the implication being that it&amp;#x27;s not controlled by a government. But we have seen time and time again that that isn&amp;#x27;t true, and if a government wants to freeze your crypto assets, they can do so easily.&lt;p&gt;So in all seriousness, what is the point of crypto, other than a &amp;quot;new stock market&amp;quot;?</text><parent_chain><item><author>tablespoon</author><text>From another article on the same topic &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.theguardian.com&amp;#x2F;technology&amp;#x2F;2022&amp;#x2F;apr&amp;#x2F;14&amp;#x2F;twitter-nft-jack-dorsey-sina-estavi&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.theguardian.com&amp;#x2F;technology&amp;#x2F;2022&amp;#x2F;apr&amp;#x2F;14&amp;#x2F;twitter-n...&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Man who paid $2.9m for NFT of Jack Dorsey’s first tweet set to lose almost $2.9m&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; ‘This is the Mona Lisa of the digital world’, says crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi who bought the NFT in March 2021&lt;p&gt;This is a good example of why so many people don&amp;#x27;t take cryptocurrency seriously.
