Ok, here is my take. First of all lets compare it to the US paper dollar. If you ask me which is real, i'd have to say the dollar because it is a tangible thing. But in all honestly crypto functions alot like paper currency or the current (since the federal reserve in 1913) US dollar.
The dollar as many of us know, is not backed by gold and silver as it once was. So basically you hold something that has value based SOLEY on faith. And so is the case for crypto....even more so because it was never physically real. That does NOT mean it is worthless. Value is derived based on some fundamentals. Supply and demand as the main one. Even if you are not an all in believer of crypto, you cannot deny the fact that the WORLD has found a demand for cryptocurrency. This new currency can be utilized like any other TOOL to reach your goal. I love the idea of earning crypto to then buy REAL ASSETS with it.
Why not? Silver and gold in my opinion are and have been, real money since they were discovered. Now, with more and more uses being found for silver, i feel it has the most potential for wealth transfer than any other commodity in history. So i'll keep making steem and using it for what i feel will further my family and myself and you use steem for what is important to you. Either way we all win.
