Ok but hasn't it always been gold backed or is that a new development? I'm asking why it shot up now?

If a ton of crypto is based on future potential, or nothing really(shytcoins) something backed by a truly viable unit of value is gonna seem heavensent.

Its why i had such high expectations for the Cedex ico, before i realized how much it would cost.

A diamond backed crypto, valued at 1 coin = 1 Ethereum.

Too rich for me but expect it to fly like Superman.

Chase is also charging fees on debit card transactions with Coinbase. Got hit with one of these earlier

Part of me believes most of these banks going out of their way are doing this to keep crypto a rich people's game.

A rich person can just withdraw 100k to a few mil once and be set to mess around with that amount.

Average person is going to make plenty of withdraws from each pay period, meaning multiple times the bank can hit them with fees.

That's why wall street ain't going heavy into crypto. They don't want to make bunch of people rich. So they'll keep shorting btc,using media to scare people about fake bans. They want power, average breh making millions is the opposite of that.

They are legit terrified of crypto.

 

[the cool]

there are some people out there that took out they 401k and life savings and put it all on crypto
