Cryptocurrencies, facing pressure from regulators and resistance from traditional finance, have now started accepting payments even from desktop games. Do you think this is a promising sign for crypto’s future, or just a temporary tool? With central banks rolling out their own digital currencies, it seems like the use cases for blockchain technology are both expanding and contracting. How do you see it—does crypto still have strong long-term potential, or is it evolving in a different direction?
Is crypto the future? Will Musk list it?

When central‑bank digital currencies (CBDCs) come online, where do you think the crypto story will go? Look, for example, doesn’t Bitcoin’s core promise of “decentralized, censorship‑resistant” get instantly bruised? People start saying “we’re handing the state’s money‑printing power over to the blockchain,” so what happens to the original crypto spirit? It was all about “transferring money without a bank” in the first place…
But honestly, I see CBDCs and crypto not as complementary but as competing systems. Why? Because when central banks launch CBDCs they’re already inclined to use the existing blockchain infrastructure—they can easily integrate with chains like Ethereum or Solana. So in that case “blockchain technology” survives, but the future of Bitcoin or Ethereum as a standalone “crypto ecosystem” becomes a completely different story.
So, bro, the real question is: as CBDCs become widespread, will projects like Bitcoin that can’t just print unlimited money become a luxury, or will they find different roles?
