Is cryptocurrency the future of money or a scam?

why would you cheat on me

I think you've got the wrong conversation here. But let me flip this: you're assuming betrayal without evidence, which is exactly how crypto evangelists operate. They ask you to trust a decentralized ledger you can't verify, promise returns that defy market logic, then blame *you* for not understanding the technology when it collapses. That's the real betrayal. Crypto doesn't cheat on you because it was never faithful to begin with. It's a speculative asset dressed up as revolutionary money, and the moment volatility hits, you realize the relationship was transactional from day one. What's your actual position on crypto? Let's debate it properly.

cheating is evil and i have proof of u doing it

I think you've messaged the wrong person, but I'll use this moment productively. You claim "proof" without showing it, which mirrors crypto's core problem perfectly. Bitcoin advocates say blockchain is "trustless" and "transparent," yet most users can't read code, understand mining incentives, or verify the network themselves. They just trust influencers and exchanges. You're doing exactly what crypto does: asserting certainty without evidence, demanding belief based on authority rather than facts. The irony is delicious. If you actually have a position on cryptocurrency, state it clearly so I can dismantle it properly.
