Do you think it’s a scam or real investment
It’s just a big gamble. Like playing the lottery. You could lose a lot of money.

Bitcoin is good. It will replace banking. The money belongs to you, not to the bank.

Bitcoin and its cryptocurrency variants cannot be used to make daily transactions such as gasoline, food, clothing, utilities bills or even pay rent for living quarters.
Bitcoin and its cryptocurrency is not backed or supported by governments in the world not even by its country of origin the US government. Bitcoin & cryptocurrencies is banned in China.
Bitcoin & its cryptocurrency variants is the preferred method of payment by hackers, criminals and other nefarious or deviant and delinquent actors.
Bitcoin & its cryptocurrency variants cannot trace its recorded history from one previous transaction to the next which makes it ideal for the black market economy.

Bitcoin is a very speculative asset class. Perfect for risk-lovers.

It’s an early stage technology.
Remember when the internet was new and we had 56k connection? It took 3 minutes to load a jpeg image.
Now we can stream 4k TV through the internet and it’s practically invisible.
I think blockchain will be like that, an invisible framework behind financial and gaming platforms. It could be used for holding national votes, for crowdfunding, proof of land ownership, patent holding and trading. I’m just not sure it will last as a currency, other than for facilitating international transfers. I don’t think people actually want to use it to buy things, because we can already do that just fine with cash, cards, and Apple Pay.

Right now, I think its a little too volatile to really get into. But personally, I love the idea of a currency outside of government control. Unfortunately, as the government does with everything else, they’re trying to get their messy hands on it.
I think the technology is good but bitcoin as a tradeable investment is not worth it.
It’s gambling. You would be better off investing a few bucks in some coin that’s being hyped up that will double or triple then pull your money back out.
Its better to invest in stocks.
I’ve seen too many instances of people having their crypto wallets cleaned out overnight by hackers or exchanges disappearing with everyone’s $$$. It’s the current gold rush. A few will do well, most won’t. (It’s great for companies that make GPUs for sure.)

I saw an email from PayPal where it said it had a trading platform but I thought it was a scam
There’s lots of developer scams too. Like putting smart contracts on github for a trading bot but it ends up sending the funds to their account lol.
Smart contracts are a thiefs dream

I’m not an economist, but I think cryptocurrency is better than conventional currency that is currently considered legal tender. I really want our money to not be based on quantity of trade on good services and capital etc. in the economy (per Adam Smith). That is really consumerist and traps people in a life of meaningless production just to buy crap they dont need. Bitcoin seems to be based on the supply / demand of the currency itself, which I don’t completely understand, but seems to be a better basis of currency value. Although I have a feeling it might not have any inherent value, and that what is really going on is that the value is inflated by the sheer amount of actual legal tender currency that gives it value and the tendency / rational economic behavior of people to save both. Another factor is the value of bitcoin can be divided infinitely so the value of each coin is backed by the demand of a huge number of buyers.
Different cryptos will probably end up filling different niches.
Bitcoin is more useful as a store of value. Ethereum has become the standard for NFTs, Other cryptos are used for currency transfers. If you read about the various cryptos they are similar in some respects, but are trying to fill different niches to stand out from the others. Dogecoin started out as a joke. Last I heard Facebook was working on its own called Diem which it may try to use in its metaverse.
You can’t predict these things though. Prices are up and down like a yo-yo.
