Reply to comment by fistymcbuttpuncher in Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried refuses to testify before Senate, committee says. by AdamCannon

You can use the crypto market to gamble, sure. And in the same light, the New York stock exchange is the same type of casino. But there are real projects trying to disrupt the entire infrastructure of finance, and coming up with some incredible answers to difficult problems. I support advancement, so I buy some of these coins and tokens because I believe in what they’re doing.

The only way to get a 'return' on crypto is if someone buys it from you for more than you paid. You can get dividends from stocks.

They are not the same and anyone who says they are is on meth.

You clearly have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. Dividends are paid out from profits to share holders much like staking crypto, where an asset is held and regularly paid from fees collected by the network.
