That may be, but you haven't explained why anyone would want to own something with zero intrinsic value that does nothing useful.
I don't believe in gold as in investment, either, but it does have value in certain electronics applications, and it also looks pretty and is therefore desirable for jewelry. I could justify buying gold more than I could justify buying Bitcoins.
Why do baseball cards have value? Why did mofos trade shells back in 1200ad? It’s just assigned value.
There are 21 million bitcoins. The world is waking up to wanting them. Who fking cares? Buy it! Then wait 10 years and 20x your money. That’s it.

Yes, when quantum starts cracking wallets, me and my 4-digit bank pin will be sitting there securely and laughing at all those bitcoiners.

Sorry, I meant it’ll crack your account. Not I’ll. AI tech would affect all. Basically it’ll

Genuine question: what value does any cryptocurrency have besides organized crime and speculation?
It has zero intrinsic value, and, to date, the transaction times are too slow for it to be useful as a medium of exchange. Why would any non-criminal want to own this for non-speculative purposes?

You sound like a grandmother. It’s like everything else, part of a highly diversified portfolio with a general buy and hold strategy. We have tripled our money in crypto and long ago made up our initial investment so it’s just a win-win for us. But we never invested more than one percent of our net worth.
You are probably one of those investors who thinks you have to pay off a mortgage early regardless of the interest rate too.

This is a risk for every single banking institution, and not limited to crypto. Sometimes critical thinking is helpful instead of regurgitating X and BlueSky influencer talking points.

lol at regurgitating talking points.
Quantum is a real risk to asymmetrical encryption specifically. Symmetrical isn't really at risk, but the risk to asymmetric means most/all of internet communications (stored data is usually symmetrically encrypted). That said, q-day is generally estimated to be 5-10 years out. Meaning that if the amount of time you need asymmetrically-encrypted data to remain secret is less than that, you're generally safe as long as the vendors supporting your tech stack get their asses in gear and implement the right quantum-resistant encryption algorithms prior to that time window expiring.
Blockchain-based cryptocurrency, however, is another story - at least to my understanding. Per briefings I've received on the topic, a lot of people are watching Nakamoto's wallet that has about 1M bitcoin in it and has remained untouched for 15 years. The speculation is that once that starts to move, the gig is up and cryptocurrency in general is at risk.
Of course, a lot of people are working on solutions to this but afaik there's no elegant fix that can be universally applied.
Either way, good luck.

OP here. I have no idea what either of you is talking about and I don't care. I've already sold enough crypto to take out twice as much as I put in, so I can't lose money. The worst I can do is make less money.
