App Store is as scammy as Google play store.

Apple vets every app through their review team but it’s a shit show of inconsistency.

Apple’s wall garden doesn’t do much other than rent seeking.

I got scammed in an ethereum site back in the day. Wasn’t a big loss but it was the straw that broke camel’s back.

If it was my credit card, I would have been refunded. Coinbase did fuck all, couldn’t even reach a real human.

I sold all my crypto a few months later.

Crypto and stock market move in tandem. Crypto has much higher trading fees. Fidelity gives me zero fees.

From a value investing perspective, crypto was a bad and unsafe investment.

I agree that folks who got in 10 years early made a fortune, but last few years have lackluster growth.
