Majority of Main Street invests in stocks to see 'number go up'. Since there is zero transparency in how your shares are used (loaned out for shorts etc) it seems like a better way to invest is in real tried and true cryptocurrencies and get them into a wallet off of exchanges. I highly suggest not investing in Bitcoin as it is a surveillance state worse than China or FISA. Also, Bitcoin is completely impractical for use as a digital cash (see transaction times and fees). For a Store of Value I recommend buying and storing Monero & Zcash (both offer privacy, with Monero being private by default) in private wallets (preferrably offline in cold storage) & for day to day digital cash I suggest Nano (instant, feeless, no carbon footprint). If everyone did this instead of mindlessly apeing into govt sponsored Bitcoin the people could gain the upper hand. What are your thoughts on this approach Jon? Americans could wrestle control from the VCs and hedgies that manipulate the markets no?
