2. I was hoping for informative, investigative analysis of what's good or bad about crypto, and all this was is a bunch of hysterical yukking about how crypto people are crooks or idiots, and no explanation. Plus a few commercials for sketchy sounding products, like thc gummies and crap. Disappointing.

3. I also came here for factual information about the pro's and con's of crypto, but its just making fun of people who like crypto. Not a particularly useful or well round look on the subject.

4. Damn boss, if you bought Solana in Jan 2023, you'd up 900% YTD and you out here saying its dead? Market cycles not gonna stop till 2025, this video is gonna look so garbage. by Summer 2024/2025. If you like the government subsidy lifestyle, then I guess Adam CONover is your guy.

5. Walmart uses crypto for distribution purposes. Not saying most aren't scams, but there are actually companies and people using it for things other than that.

6. that is vicky ho picture behind zeke faux

7. … and. Now Bitcoin is back with a bang!

8. Corporations kind of won again with this one, much like they did with "metadata." They controlled the narrative, and people immediately focused on the obvious cases of misuse. I despise this self-righteous attitude from so-called "Leftists." Those with influential platforms had the chance to address the issue, but instead, they opted for the short-term, easy win. They fell for the "told you so" narrative and never moved beyond it.

   I believe this is mainly due to their dependence on using others' work/media to compensate for their lack of original content, driven by their own greed and self-interests. It makes me sick.

   The situation presented a perfect opportunity, while it was in the limelight, to advocate for narratives on laws, regulations, and, more importantly, user rights for non-tangible assets. Currently, non-tangibles are strictly one-directional, and part of crypto's appeal was the use of a structured registry system that could be publicly monitored, enabling traceability to original right owners and the imposition of conditions on that medium.

   Corporations resist organization in areas that hinder their progress. Implementing secure, traceable data management is not in their best interest when dealing with "non-tangible assets" because it complicates justifying speculations that benefit them. Transforming the process into a casino makes it harder to pinpoint what needs attention.

   Consider what happened with metadata. People were outraged, but companies still collect your data; they just get to "reinvent" the wheel, wasting more time and creating new problems along the way.

   I want to be able to sell a game, movie, or music I've finished using. I want independent artists to have rights to their work, with easy access to understanding the use of their mediums, protected by a solid cultural understanding that can't be subverted by claiming "it's too hard; someone will just screen capture a jpg."

   The narrow perspective on each medium and its potential growth is simplistic. Allowing regression of our rights is mind-boggling.

   I may be old—not ancient, but old enough to graduate high school when my peers didn't know what an email was and had to take classes on turning a computer on. I was lucky to see over and over how narratives change with disruptive digital progressions, from power for you the user, to the masses and corporations wants subverting your advantages because of your lack of knowledge and filling the pockets of those who need hubris. I was fortunate to have computers in my life before starting school, with two engineer parents and older brothers who programmed. My point is, my understanding has always emphasized the tremendous organizational capability of computers. This should be paramount in analyzing the value of whatever emerges from them, and our dialogue should focus on each new tech's potential benefit for us. Corporations exploit this for financial gain, yet we don't fight vigorously enough for the same benefits for ourselves. Instead, we resist progress out of fear of potential misuse, when we should be saying "if" rather than outright rejecting it.

   Gah, this makes me angry.

9. The best usage for crypto could be replacing county recorders… but there is nothing useful financially

10. Hmm..and yet nations are moving to institute digital currency and the SEC is about to approve an ETF for BTC…but OK. It would be more interesting for you to cover the reasons why governments want to convert to propriety digital currencies, as opposed to using existing BTC, but it sounds like you don't actually understand why it was created in the first place.

11. Zeke is adorable! Great guy!

12. I was expecting some kind of fact check and technical understanding of how it works, but the guys were laughing on how people are dressed up and what movie they played in when they were kids.
    Highly professional. Zelenskyy was Russian comedian before, does it make him a bad president?
    After all what happened USDT is still $1, crypto is still the only way I can support my friends in Ukraine without my money being stolen by a bank with no way to get it back and bitcoin is 100% up since you published your video full of personal opinions and sarcasm.
    Crypto is the only way for many countries to beat the inflation. Yes, they were a lot of projects that were scams. A lot. Now look at the banking industry in any country, how many banks are still around that existed 200 years ago? This industry is a Wild West now, it’s slowly maturing. Only 30% of Americans own crypto but majority keep it on the exchange and ruins the whole idea. Not your keys- not your money. Learn the technology, learn the basics so you won’t fall into scam.

13. Adam, I appreciate the content you make and I appreciate you addressing the big red flags that the cryptocurrency industry has: FTX, Celsius and other pyramid schemes, mind-blowing price tags for jpeg images, dog meme shitcoins, tokens shilled as if going to the moon and the rug pulls that followed after. However, I would like to invite you to consider the power of a public decentralised immutable ledger that the blockchain technology brings with it. While it’s true that some of the technologies are already old and inefficient, it would be naive to overlook the research and progress some of these projects made in the field, as well as not addressing the limitations the current centralised financial system has. It’s been proven time over time that when given power, people become very easily corruptible and are willing to do unimaginable things to continue holding on to the power – and I’m referencing the video you made about billionaires, with which I completely agree.
    Blockchain and public decentralised ledgers, at the end of the day, can create the space in which people are not able to centralise political power and wealth anymore, if implemented correctly, and can give transparency and equal rights to all actors of the financial system.
    I don’t advocate that Bitcoin is the answer, but I believe it would be a mistake to discard the technology altogether. The fact that Alex Mashinsky was able to raise 20 billion dollars says a lot regarding the greed that governs over the human psyche, but I equally think it says a lot about the state of the current financial system, which is held together by an over-worked ever shrinking middle class, so desperate to seek refuge in assets that hopefully won’t lose their value as much as current traditional currencies do.

14. Adam is a complete moron. Got his talking points from Elizabeth Warren

15. Do you remember crypto? It’s still around and people still use it. You have declared it dead, again, as many others have before you in the past 15 years. They were wrong, and you are wrong with them. Add yourself to the list of uninformed talking heads that have declared crypto dead when it certainly isn’t.

16. Obey isn't a great comparison because that's at least a clothing brand, with actual tangibility

17. No you didn't investigate crypto in the beginning because you didn't know where it was going and didn't want to be wrong. That's what I'm thinking but I could be wrong.

18. Im watching this video and i keep thinking "that is funniest and dumbest thing ive ever heard". Then repeat 30 seconds later….all the way to end of the video….

    It was a short run humanity. Wish i could say it was good.

19. Are you feeling ashamed yet or should we wait a bit more?

20. It won't go away though.

21. I just want to let you know Adam, that like Jon Stewart you are quickly becoming a "trusted" voice I turn to for insightful commentary about this crazy new world we are living in. Thank you for being you!

22. Bitcoin is $43,000+, update video maybe? 😃

23. Excellent episode enjoyed the whole thing

24. Aged like milk

25. Dude thinks he has gotten a better return on his bank account than if he had bought Bitcoin in 2015… Astonishing

26. I think most of the critiques are valid, but mostly just in the context of the low-cap fly by night memecoins and NFTs. The bitcoins and ethereums aren't going away unless the government cracks down on access to exchanges. There will always be more fools, especially as young generations have more difficulty investing in traditional assets (real estate in particular) or seek higher returns than the stock market can provide.

27. Your podcasts are interested but I'm still bummed about finding out you're an antisemite

28. Some people have amnesia and forget lessons really quick. Scammers take advantage of that.

29. Aged well 😅, look at bitcoin now 😅

30. 1 btc was 300 dollars in 2015, are you telling me your bank multiplied your money by 100 🤔🤔, by 250 😢

31. Yu interrupt too much

32. This video is aging like milk. Oh look btc 10k away from a new all time high. Oh thr biggeat asset managers in the world are now involved. Oh more capital inflows to crypto than in its entire history. Adam has literally gaslit hia viewers in to missing the biggest bull run of all time hhaha. Beware of false profits…. see what i did there? This guy is a tool.

33. Jeez this aged well

34. 😂😅🤣 This video marked the EXACT Bottom of you had bought BTC the day this video came out you would have 5Xyour investment in this “dead scam!” That is clearly OVER hahahaha FUCKING 🤡’s.

35. This channel is called the aged like milk channel

36. Just to circle back to this. If you bought one bitcoin on the day this video was made (October 11, 2023) and sold it today (March 4, 2024) you would have made roughly 150% profit or $40,000. Just saying. The best time to buy crypto is usually when you hear the media say “crypto is dead”. 😅

37. So this didn't age well

38. Video aged like milk!

39. i mean…. bitcoin is worth 73k per coin today…

40. well, this video aged badly 😀 😀 😀

41. I would genuinely like to know what milestone Bitcoin would have to hit for it to be considered a legitimate asset by folks who truly still believe it's a scam. It seems odd to be screaming at the top of their lungs that Bitcoin is going to collapse and folks who bought it early on are being scammed… These folks are already millionaires, so if the scam was to make them millions than success I guess.

    But at the prices BTC is now and will be soaring to, it isn't really an option for the average person anymore. It will be very hard for a 9 to 5 person on a median income to just go out and buy a few Bitcoin, so who are they yelling it's a scam to now? Blackrock? Fidelity? These massive funds with access to data and technology that literally run circles around the financial advice of the average consumer?

    I am genuinely curious what the milestone of legitimacy is for people who still doubt or is there no milestone? Just.. "Bitcoin bad" from here to 100k and beyond? If you're a bitcoin doubter reading this, please, feel free to seriously comment what your milestone is for this asset to be legitimized in your eyes.

42. Hey ADAM – how about another visit on how Crypto is dead?

    Please? I need this explained again, the first time didn’t make sense.

43. Stoooop.. I invested all my money (420.69$) into CrapcointotheMoon Coin.. nuuuuuuu

44. This vid and Faux,s book are not aging well. SBF is the problem not crypto. And just look at Bitcoin now. Faux has turned out to be faux.

45. Never bought into this s#t – I'm to suisse for crap like thus

46. When I hear about crypto now. I can't help but associate it with the following: scammers, foreign militias, terrorists, and wanna-bees
