i love how for the past year or so threads like these "oh God the world is ending!!!111" show up everytime there is a hodl moment. its just more widespread now because all these late adopters and their grandmothers are panicing over a 30% drop. For anyone who got into this 3ish years ago, this is a normal state of affairs.
Blood Elves were based on a STRONG request from a poll of Asian players where many remarked on the Horde side that they and their girlfriends wanted a non-creepy femme race to play (Source)

Does that really matter? If you would be smart you still could use it to earn real life $$$. Even people who are aware that it is a scam can earn money.
There you go

I love people who are completely ignorant about crypto constantly trashing it and trying to predict it's demise.
Gold has allot of speculative value but in the end you have a use for it outside of jewelry which is a personal thing (like art which is also overvalued)
But still, gold has a industrial use so it will always have a value. What's the value of bitcoin or the altcoin? You aren't buying a company (which has a value) or a product.
The value of the dollar is that it's stable and can actually be used as a currency to buy legit stuff which means it can be used to run an economy. Trying to run an economy with crypto and it's volatility would be a disaster.
Funny all you hear about is how much cypto is worth in dollars amounts and all the people getting rich off it would do so by cashing out for dollars.

You don't understand Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme, in a sense it's a zero sum game because your gain is someone’s loss since you aren't creating any value outside of speculation.
People stepping in Bitcoin thinking it's a investment don't understand this basic concept. Consider this something similar to a crowdfunding website, you technically aren't buying a product when you spend money on kickstarter but since people think they do the disappointment is great when they don't get the product they expected.
You now have company's changing their name to Blockchain to get more stockvalue.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Bitcoin, like all modern currency, is simply a store a value, and thus has value. There is a finite amount of the coins that can ever be mined, and thus as more people want them, they go up in value.
Remember, all money must have 3 functions to be a proper currency, and they are
1) A store of value - there are limited amounts of bit coins, and a heavy demand, thus a store of value
2) A medium of exchange - People and markets accept it as tender, thus it functions as a medium of exchange
3) A unit of account - It is a countable item that can be physically used to exchange hands (even in a digital sense)
What makes this so appealing to EVERYONE is the fact that it is 100% disconnected from central banks, making it immune to volatility within countries, its volatility is derived from supply and demand. Think of it like gold, there is only so much, and everyone wants it to keep their money safe, if there is a large market downturn, expect bitcoin to SKYROCKET in price.
That's not entirely true. They can track bitcoins even after they've been tumbled. When you transfer money to the blockchain its made public so everyone on the network can see your transaction. You're right though that it's decentralized and can't be controlled. You take down 1 node and 50 more pop up.
Volatility is the biggest issue more than anything else that prevents bitcoin from being a viable currency.
That doesn't mean that you can't make money off of it if you are an investor, but you can't run business operations based on a currency that may drop in value in the matter of a few days or hours.
