Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

If you're referring to bitcoin for that alternative money supply then I regret to inform you that it's manipulated to hell and back, from "stable"coin printing to now ETFs.
Believe it or not, it used to be even worse! The big step forward IMHO is that there's no privileged party that has an advantage manipulating the price. Congress should be prohibited from owning anything but long-term dollar bonds.
Until Elon Musk tweets out that he will exchange Tesla vehicles for Bitcoin or that Dogecoin is a good investment.
Digital currencies are somehow worse than gambling unless you're famous enough to do a pump-and-dump.
Musk doesn't have any authority over Bitcoin, though. When he eventually fails, the rules won't be changed to save him - like they were for dollars.
