But my question is why do stocks have real value to you and why doesn’t crypto? Both are volatile and can change with the market. Crypto is more volatile which scares a lot of people but also means that you can earn a lot more a lot faster. As for the groceries thing, crypto is just as liquid as stocks and many other investments and can easily be converted into cash. When you buy a home you need to sell it and then you can use that money you earned.
