Honestly, it seems to me that are some big players that control this industry. I think they mine whenever they want to manipulate the prices. Can you please explain how can I trust crypto more? Thank you
Do you mean Bitmain? They mine coins at first and then sell their equipment once they've mined a lot. For example, let's imagine there is X10 miner that just entered the market. In reality, they have X20 miner and mine with it while telling you that X10 is the latest one, very shady behaviour.
Cryptocurrencies were truly the best at the begining, right now, without doubt it turned into a commercial business and no one cares about the philosophy behind it.
But what do you mean in trust? You can look at bitcoin in two ways:
1. As a currency
2. As a payment method
Price is very changeable, so, no one can tell you whether it will rise tomorrow or not and it's not a stable thing, no, very unstable.
And as a payment method, yeah, you can trust it. You are your own bank and don't depend on 3rd parties, no one can freeze your wallet and leave you empty if you don't make mistakes.
But I have one question for you: Can you tell me why we have to trust fiat and not crypto? Let's take USD for example. USA prints it, leaves debt that we have to pay. Imagine, you lend $100 to a person and instead of getting this $100, you are going to give him $200 for the honor of taking loan from you and leaving you in a debt. That's abuse...
