Is crypto truly the next big thing, or is it just a money-sucking flash in the pan? In a wide-ranging interview, journalist Laura Shin explains what crypto is (and what it definitely isn’t), taking us through the most recent turns in its constantly evolving story — including the recent meltdown caused by the bankruptcy of FTX. (This conversation, hosted by TED tech curator Simone Ross, was part of an exclusive TED Membership event on November 30, 2022. Visit ted.com/membership to become a TED Member.)

Laura Shin is a hack
<<.I'm <new to trading how can I make more profitable investment in crypto without incurring much losses
She didn't answer the question what is crypto. She talked about the evolution of phones instead then ended by saying essentially crypto is superior but not why she believes that to be a fact. She also giggles a lot as if it's all so obvious.
Please how caπ I make profitable investment as CRYPTO has become dominant??√√
Tuned in to learn- could not get through it.
Anything that appears to "simplify" or "demystify" something and it takes almost an hour to do it, makes me nervous. lol
crypto = bigger fool theory !
Bitcoin is a new internet protocol for transferring value. A digital commodity. Crypto on the other side is 99% cash-grabs with new buzz-words every few years (ICOs, NFTs, web 3, …).
its a scam, all you need to know
