no they aren't, period.
Very thoughtful take right here.

no thought required for shitcoin nonsense.

what precisely are you confused by?

"and Crypto". But hey, almost all of us where there, took me 10 years to figure it out. Finally being able to write shitcoin code and seeing the toxic culture inside the development organisations and then the collapse of Terra/Celsius/etc shook me out of it.
I'm sure you'll get there eventually. Bitcoin's the only legit project out there, and it's problems needing solving are the most worthwhile, and among the most challenging.

Yawn. You assume a lot. I have lost nothing on shitcoins. Sorry you fell for yield games and stablecoins.

No, I was writing the code, not speculating. "yIeLdS" - nearest I got to that was putting my bitcoin up for margin lending on Bitfinex just before the hack on cryptokitties. I lost my bitcoin because I was margin trading and the exit panic the hack prompted. Previous success in 2008 with USD/EUR forex trading made me try to do it but in the end the volatility was wider than required for the strategy that worked on forex.
There isn't many other ways to interpret "and Crypto" than that you have some assets tied up in altcoins. I will admit I am not totally hostile to Monero but it is the simplest privacy coin protocol and has acquired a great deal of users on the dark web, similar to how the first bitcoin marketplace of any size was there. But IMO, LN is going to replace it there, when the privacy side of things is fully nutted out. And things like trustless escrow on LN.

By crypto I mean the tech itself not any project or coins in specific. I have no assets in any of them, I do receive various coins and tokens through rewards programs and such which are immediately traded for sats. I also mine monero with my spare pcs and convert that to sats. I don't have the capital for btc mining.
