RE: The Future of Steemit
A lot of the money pouring into crypto is smart money - money that is going to take over those currencies.
Money that can then crash it anytime they want, and buy it back cheap, by causing panics.
Real money, in other words.
Right, I just mean there are a lot of people that are buying coins that they know absolutely nothing about. They'll see a comment on reddit or see how low the market cap is, see it pump and just buy it based on that. I would wager there is a not-insignificant amount of STEEM holders that aren't even aware of the social media aspect of it.
I don't think that dumb money is the bulk of investments in crypto. It's impossible to tell.
The inflation oncoming is a damn good reason to avoid dollars, and even dumb investments in other currencies are at least smart to get out of dollars.
