Yes there are risks with everything, and if its too risky for you thats okay. Others will keep using it. Btw blockchain transactions are only expensive with bitcoin and ethereum, most others are extremely cheap.
Can they then please not make a big thing out of losing everything because of gambling in a cryptocassino? And maybe please do not ask the Fed to step in?
Can they please stop appropriating artists' works, or activists' faces?
That's what really gets me going. I don't care what cryptobros do with their money and if they want to put it in a machine that spits out random amounts on the other end, be my guest. But can they please stop insisting on affecting everyone else in the world?
I did not ask this so-called Fed anything. And of course some people will lose money, thats what happens in a market. If you want zero risk, play some video game instead.
Yes it is very easy to copy or pirate digital art, big surprise. And some people combined that with cryptocurrency. Do you think no crime has ever been committed using us dollars?
It is obvious that you care a lot about "what cryptobros do with their money". The only question is, why?
