Crypto exchanges have no crypto.

This is the new economy.

A blockchain like Ethereum could theoretically make companies like Uber and Airbnb obsolete.

Airbnb and uber at least paid people to do their jobs.

Crypto the only thing it produced was advertising so it could get people to deposit real money for fake money. They provided the exit liquidity for the founders

To be fair, with your logic... "real money" is just pieces of paper, so it's all fake. It's a representation of a value to barter with for goods or services. It isn't like the dollar is backed by gold or any "real" item anymore.


However the US dollar is legal tender for all debt, public and private.

I thought Uber is leasing vehicles to drivers. Am I wrong about that?

Uber has something called Vehicle Solutions Program where they connect you with a rental car provider and the driver is allowed to use that vehicle on platform. Driver still has to pay rental car company a daily fee

You're seeing a massive re-evaluation of Tech. The RIF's are going to serve to recalibrate the entire sector. A lot of talent is going to spread back down the tech spectrum as there are less jobs, which means less pressure on tech companies to offer higher salaries, perks, etc. Businesses that survive in this sector will have better talent and actually refine and innovate their products even mo' bettah' thanks to the reduction in churn and stickier employees that invest time which allows them to invest in the products they work on.

You will see less catering to the employee, and more business maturation as they go from innovators to mature companies looked upon by the investor class to produce quarterly dividends and growth via equity.

The dot.com boom gave way to Web 2.0...and now that's going to give way to a new reality. A lot of folks already see the bottom. When you see buying really pick up, you'll know we're there. The market is about 9-12 months ahead of us. Just watch.

But bitcoin is valued in dollars. It is redeemed in dollars. So long as the value stays high. It's not really a value based asset, it produces nothing by itself. So long as the Winklevoss Twins think it is worth something, then it is worth something...until the Whales decide it is not...then it is just numbers on a ledger.
