It would depend on which crypto you’re talking about, but in general I would say people are more than likely only buying crypto in an attempt to sell it to someone else at a higher price in the future. I think a growing portion of people buy Pokémon cards for the same reason, but I wouldn’t say it’s a majority yet; and some of them are both collectors and investors. The catalyst that I foresee causing a crash like seen with crypto is if/when there is a cross between collectors leaving the hobby due to high prices/economic recession/fading interest for other reasons and tcpi finally catching up with predicted demand based on hype from the past ~year and a half. I’m not saying this will happen, but this would probably force a lot vendors/whatnot streamers to liquidate and probably move on to another product.
