I thought this was funny, but mostly wrong. Crypto is useful for many things, and has many merits and demerits, such as follows; 1. Decentralized Means Funding things without relying on a system that is often abused. Such as the protesters on Africa recently, because the warlords there presured the government to shut them down and stole. Or when social media companies, payment processors and some banks all broke the law to steal from the journalist Julian Assange for being too honest it was inconvenient. Or when the same kind of things were done to censor others. Which is why China banned it, protesters there were using it to keep the government from just taking everything they owned, which they tried, so as to shut them up. Spoiler that didn't really stop them from using it, or owning it, it just made using it there illegal, thus harder. While it makes it harder for a tyrannical government to steal what you have. The downside is this does mean people are now using it for illegal transactions. However This isn't new, it's much like they did previously with prepaid cards, cash such as USD, gold, silver, diamonds, drugs, and so on. Criminals Don't deal in debit or credit cards that are not prepaid because too easy to track. 2. It is useful for sending money overseas. WU has a tendency to ban people who run legitimate businesses while allowing scamers from using their services due to incompetence. Banks also often restrict such transactions and make them hard or at times impossible. Crypto has no such issues, but that does also make it more risky if you are paying someone in it, given it also lacks the protections. 3. It is similar to stocks on how it operates. So, if the fluctuations are a problem then you shouldn't be doing crypto or the stock market for the same reasons. 4. It is true it uses a lot of electricity, but it also produces at least a bit more value than the cost of the electric in most places. Thus, it is very useful for decreasing the payback time of off grid solar, wind, biomass and so on. That is something you Don't have an option if you have a strictly off grid system as you can not sell your excess electric to the grid. This lowers the payback time to around half for off grid systems (so still 2 to 5 years). Off grid systems are cheaper than ongrid systems, and way cheaper than hybrid system that work both on and off grid. Furthermore, a strictly ongrid system don't actually work if the power goes out. The downside is there is a need for hardware that produces Crypto Thus increasing demand. If supply low and demand high, price go up. This isn't new, and isn't wholly due to Crypto no matter what you are taking about, including the price of graphics cards. It may be part of the reason regarding that specific hardware, but it is far from the only reason, it isn't even the main reason. If people haven't noticed, America has been having serious shortages on everything on and off for 4 to 5 years. We had to do a nearly nation wide rassioning of, ketchup packets, meats, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, gasoline, so on in just the past 4 years. More than once for some of these things. I guess those shortages must also be Crypto too then, right? Clearly, you need chicken and ketchup for building a computer, not sure where you would install food in a computer though. 5. Crypto currency is useful for having a diversified finance portfolio, as they are not nation specific. When China, Russia and so on stock market is doing with it tends that America isn't and reverse too, this is due to competition and isn't generally major. Thus, people who have the money to diversify investments buy stocks in more than one nations companies, keep more than one currency, gold/silver, houses, and now Crypto. This way if there is a crash or mass inflation like currently in America, early 2000's in America, 1960's in America, the American prohibition, and the Great depression. Then you likely are less effected even if you are still effected. Mainly by the merit of diversifying you holdings/savings. More options for that means potentially safer. This isn't new, only Crypto is new, and that just means 1 more option for diversifying. 6. That decentralized thing, also means it doesn't have the risk that if banks go under, money gone, now you are broke. Which is a huge part of what caused the great depression, and the early 2000's recession. The only option the government had was bail out the failing banks at everyone else's expense. All because the banks made very bad business decisions and went broke. In short, bank do well, bank make money. Bank do bad, you pay for their failures, then economic system have big issues. Mainly because the other option is bank do bad, bank broke, then everyone who has account in bank, now have $0 in bank. The merit is the same risks don't exist. Assuming the government eventually chooses not to, or can not afford to, bail out the banks when they lose your money. The downside to this is you Don't have the same protections with your money. Also, if you haven't noticed we can have 800% inflation in 4 to 6 years if things get really bad. Meaning what was $1, 4 to 6 years ago can cost $8 today. Which makes the USD itself not as stable as was insinuated in this video. Mainly, given the money of America isn't backed by anything, so is nothing but an IOU issued by the American government. Thus, the USD is more stable than Crypto from a value perspective. However, far less stable than this video suggests, as has been proven clearly in the past few years, for the 9th time in American history. However, if America goes under for any reason, USD worth 0. Crypto can't go under due to decentralization, so at worst, Crypto worth slightly more than 0. So, Crypto has a above 0 cap, that the USD doesn't have, but it is less stable than the USD, much like the stock market. 7. There are countless Crypto wallets that are just like banks regarding password recovery. So, you can choose one that has no more risk, of that being an issue, than nearly 80% of all banks given the lack of brick and mortar locations. Just chose carefully and do your research first. Investing in anything before doing proper research is a bad idea. Isn't that how most people deal with most financial discussions, or am I the only one? 8. Not all Crypto even involves hardware to acquire. So, a graphics card isn't even necessary in some cases. For example; BAT is produced via the brave browser by the adds you watch. Brave browser is a browser with a built in ad blocker. So, you can choose to see no ads, normal ads, BAT producing ads, or Normal ads and BAT producing ads. Company pays Brave money to show ads to you. Brave gives you a part of that money in BAT for watching the ad. Another example; XYZ is from the coin app, and is much the same, they show you ads but also geolocate you giving bonuses for visiting stores, and taking surveys. They are a bit more sketchy/stingy than Brave, and the value of XYZ isn't much more than BAT. In both of these cases you won't make much, but you do make something with time. In 6 months between the 2 I made around $25. It isn't much, but it is at Least a dinner. Given I didn't need any specialized hardware, didn't use any more electricity than normal, and didn't really change my routine/actions in any real way. I would say $25 in 6 months, just for having an app on my phone that I basically never look at, and just using a Chrome like browser, instead of normal Chrome, is pretty decent. -- I guess what I am saying is everything including crypto has it's merits and demerits. However, I must say that this video, while funny, did seriously miss the mark. It seems that he did at best, minimumal research, before making this video.

I will tell you a secret. Cryptocoins have always been the plaything of a small group of nerds. And they became popular only in 2011, when this payment method was noticed by the international drug mafia. The drug mafia made cryptocurrencies popular, and they began to grow in price. Well, when something grows in price, so quickly, then everyone who is not lazy jumps into this train. The explosive growth of cartels, and the increase in violence in Mexico in 2011-14, is also related to this. With the fact that the drug mafia received an important tool, 1) to launder money 2) to receive payments that are difficult to trace. What was a toy for nerds has become a tool for criminals. Just google the level of violence that was going on in Mexico in the 10s. And not only in Mexico. With such a tool as dЕcentralised tor payments, the drug mafia will acquire a level of power that even Escobar could not dream of.🤣 Welcome to Cyberpunk.

China has a extremely rapidly growing economy with over a Billion (with a capital B) potential customers. So many companies are very desperate to be on the good side of the Chinese government. Getting the approval of that government can mean a massive amount of money but approval can be easily lost. So when somebody says that insults China or the Chinese government others panic.
@@maximusaralieous1728 While they are still unapologetically totalitarian China is not communist. They transitioned away from proper communism/socialism after the death of Mao Zedong, partly because Mao Zedong's rule featured so many economic disasters and famines.

The government can still control businesses however they want, and certain companies became rich because of government help, but most of the time chinese mega-corporations behave exactly like mega-corporations in other countries.

I thought this was funny, but mostly wrong.
Crypto is useful for many things, and has many merits and demerits, such as follows;
1. Decentralized Means Funding things without relying on a system that is often abused.
Such as the protesters on Africa recently, because the warlords there presured the government to shut them down and stole.
Or when social media companies, payment processors and some banks all broke the law to steal from the journalist Julian Assange for being too honest it was inconvenient.
Or when the same kind of things were done to censor others.
Which is why China banned it, protesters there were using it to keep the government from just taking everything they owned, which they tried, so as to shut them up.
Spoiler that didn't really stop them from using it, or owning it, it just made using it there illegal, thus harder.
While it makes it harder for a tyrannical government to steal what you have.
The downside is this does mean people are now using it for illegal transactions.
However This isn't new, it's much like they did previously with prepaid cards, cash such as USD, gold, silver, diamonds, drugs, and so on.
Criminals Don't deal in debit or credit cards that are not prepaid because too easy to track.
2. It is useful for sending money overseas.
WU has a tendency to ban people who run legitimate businesses while allowing scamers from using their services due to incompetence.
Banks also often restrict such transactions and make them hard or at times impossible.
Crypto has no such issues, but that does also make it more risky if you are paying someone in it, given it also lacks the protections.
3. It is similar to stocks on how it operates.
So, if the fluctuations are a problem then you shouldn't be doing crypto or the stock market for the same reasons.
4. It is true it uses a lot of electricity, but it also produces at least a bit more value than the cost of the electric in most places.
Thus, it is very useful for decreasing the payback time of off grid solar, wind, biomass and so on.
That is something you Don't have an option if you have a strictly off grid system as you can not sell your excess electric to the grid.
This lowers the payback time to around half for off grid systems (so still 2 to 5 years).
Off grid systems are cheaper than ongrid systems, and way cheaper than hybrid system that work both on and off grid.
Furthermore, a strictly ongrid system don't actually work if the power goes out.
The downside is there is a need for hardware that produces Crypto Thus increasing demand.
If supply low and demand high, price go up.
This isn't new, and isn't wholly due to Crypto no matter what you are taking about, including the price of graphics cards.
It may be part of the reason regarding that specific hardware, but it is far from the only reason, it isn't even the main reason.
If people haven't noticed, America has been having serious shortages on everything on and off for 4 to 5 years.
We had to do a nearly nation wide rassioning of, ketchup packets, meats, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, gasoline, so on in just the past 4 years.
More than once for some of these things.
I guess those shortages must also be Crypto too then, right?
Clearly, you need chicken and ketchup for building a computer, not sure where you would install food in a computer though.
5. Crypto currency is useful for having a diversified finance portfolio, as they are not nation specific.
When China, Russia and so on stock market is doing with it tends that America isn't and reverse too, this is due to competition and isn't generally major.
Thus, people who have the money to diversify investments buy stocks in more than one nations companies, keep more than one currency, gold/silver, houses, and now Crypto.
This way if there is a crash or mass inflation like currently in America, early 2000's in America, 1960's in America, the American prohibition, and the Great depression.
Then you likely are less effected even if you are still effected.
Mainly by the merit of diversifying you holdings/savings.
More options for that means potentially safer.
This isn't new, only Crypto is new, and that just means 1 more option for diversifying.
6. That decentralized thing, also means it doesn't have the risk that if banks go under, money gone, now you are broke.
Which is a huge part of what caused the great depression, and the early 2000's recession.
The only option the government had was bail out the failing banks at everyone else's expense.
All because the banks made very bad business decisions and went broke.
In short, bank do well, bank make money.
Bank do bad, you pay for their failures, then economic system have big issues.
Mainly because the other option is bank do bad, bank broke, then everyone who has account in bank, now have $0 in bank.
The merit is the same risks don't exist.
Assuming the government eventually chooses not to, or can not afford to, bail out the banks when they lose your money.
The downside to this is you Don't have the same protections with your money.
Also, if you haven't noticed we can have 800% inflation in 4 to 6 years if things get really bad.
Meaning what was $1, 4 to 6 years ago can cost $8 today.
Which makes the USD itself not as stable as was insinuated in this video.
Mainly, given the money of America isn't backed by anything, so is nothing but an IOU issued by the American government.
Thus, the USD is more stable than Crypto from a value perspective.
However, far less stable than this video suggests, as has been proven clearly in the past few years, for the 9th time in American history.
However, if America goes under for any reason, USD worth 0.
Crypto can't go under due to decentralization, so at worst, Crypto worth slightly more than 0.
So, Crypto has a above 0 cap, that the USD doesn't have, but it is less stable than the USD, much like the stock market.
7. There are countless Crypto wallets that are just like banks regarding password recovery.
So, you can choose one that has no more risk, of that being an issue, than nearly 80% of all banks given the lack of brick and mortar locations.
Just chose carefully and do your research first.
Investing in anything before doing proper research is a bad idea.
Isn't that how most people deal with most financial discussions, or am I the only one?
8. Not all Crypto even involves hardware to acquire.
So, a graphics card isn't even necessary in some cases.
For example; BAT is produced via the brave browser by the adds you watch.
Brave browser is a browser with a built in ad blocker.
So, you can choose to see no ads, normal ads, BAT producing ads, or
Normal ads and BAT producing ads.
Company pays Brave money to show ads to you.
Brave gives you a part of that money in BAT for watching the ad.
Another example; XYZ is from the coin app, and is much the same, they show you ads but also geolocate you giving bonuses for visiting stores, and taking surveys.
They are a bit more sketchy/stingy than Brave, and the value of XYZ isn't much more than BAT.
In both of these cases you won't make much, but you do make something with time.
In 6 months between the 2 I made around $25.
It isn't much, but it is at Least a dinner.
Given I didn't need any specialized hardware, didn't use any more electricity than normal, and didn't really change my routine/actions in any real way.
I would say $25 in 6 months, just for having an app on my phone that I basically never look at, and just using a Chrome like browser, instead of normal Chrome, is pretty decent.

@@purnendusharma1383 everything is a cult, especially money
I will tell you a secret. Cryptocoins have always been the plaything of a small group of nerds. And they became popular only in 2011, when this payment method was noticed by the international drug mafia. The drug mafia made cryptocurrencies popular, and they began to grow in price. Well, when something grows in price, so quickly, then everyone who is not lazy jumps into this train. The explosive growth of cartels, and the increase in violence in Mexico in 2011-14, is also related to this. With the fact that the drug mafia received an important tool, 1) to launder money 2) to receive payments that are difficult to trace.
What was a toy for nerds has become a tool for criminals. Just google the level of violence that was going on in Mexico in the 10s. And not only in Mexico. With such a tool as dЕcentralised tor payments, the drug mafia will acquire a level of power that even Escobar could not dream of.🤣

Hence why it cut to people running towards him screaming 'no no no no' and then went to the technical difficulties screen.
@@userre85 China is ruled by a non-democratic totalitarian regime that will go to extreme lengths to keep control over their country. They can and do impose a variety of restrictions that would be ridiculous by USA or European standards. This includes things that could affect the opinion of the Chinese public, for example social media has to have features that allow the government to censor things. China has a extremely rapidly growing economy with over a Billion (with a capital B) potential customers. So many companies are very desperate to be on the good side of the Chinese government. Getting the approval of that government can mean a massive amount of money but approval can be easily lost. So when somebody says that insults China or the Chinese government others panic.
@@maximusaralieous1728 While they are still unapologetically totalitarian China is not communist. They transitioned away from proper communism/socialism after the death of Mao Zedong, partly because Mao Zedong's rule featured so many economic disasters and famines. Their economic boom features many mega-corporations and billionaires and very little state owned business. The government can still control businesses however they want, and certain companies became rich because of government help, but most of the time chinese mega-corporations behave exactly like mega-corporations in other countries.

I am definitely a candidate for rodgecoin. I think that I will be able to eat gold bars in the post apocalyptic world.
Roger always knows where to hit a raw nerve.
Roger's got a whole video JUST on NFTs now! ua-cam.com/video/sG_v4bb2e4k/v-deo.html
Honestly i work in the space, and i do good work but these videos are useful in their counterbalance of the hype mania...satire brings levity.
And I got a crypto ad after this video 🤣🤣

Alright roger’s back.
Hey, when is Roger Gonna get his own TV show? We need more of him in this stressful world we live in.
Honestly if we could clone roger so cracked can keep uploading more if ____ was honest and allow the REAL roger to rest we would.
Both of those I'm all for
3 weeks later: If Cloners were honest
A TV show?
We are in 2021 already! :-)
@@igorthelight what you mean?
@@ImFromIowa Meaning most serialized shows are shared through the internet now, at least most that are worthy and interesting. Every fridge has its own original streaming show.
So Roger kind of has his own series already - this one.
Also, a lot of anything isn't going to make it better, but will make you feel like it's worse, because of how our perception works. 3 hour Roger shows every day, and you won't even watch them, will get tired and numb.
Money doesn't disappear, it only changes hands.
This is pretty good.
That understanding block chains joke was right on the money. I was in a digital forensics class a while back and no one could really make head or tails of it without looking it up. Even when we got it, most of us were still scratching our heads.
I mean I think a lot of people understand it in theory... but what's the actual purpose? it's just a lot of stuff in the background to do whole lot of nothing
@@neurofiedyamato8763 And to add, all the while consuming our precious electricity mining it, and also that same group of people investing in these... things... are making promise to curb the climate change lmfao.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 purpose? having digital money that cant be tracked or handled or monitored by middle men. It was the money for people who didn't trust having someone follow their money trail. (at least that was my take back when i learned about it.) Problem is it's SUPER volatile, and if you're the type to pay it too much attention, it's nerve wracking.
@@502jackal and it still can be tracked and monitored, partly thanks to those easily hacked exchanges. We've already seen evidence of this with the arrest of those people who hacked an exchange
@@InfernosReaper While most cryptocurrencies are only pseudonymous and trackable (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.), there are some, that are anonymous (Monero)
Also the exchanges, that market cryptocurrencies as a "get rich fast" scheme are maybe the worst thing that happened to crypto.
I’m willing to admit, I felt that I was investing in something huge. “Mining” and “Staking” were the buzzwords that got me. As I watch this, I can’t help but laugh.
Man with all the increasing perversion of finances and uncertainty in the world we all are vulnerable to people and things that say they are the salvation. :/

"or if a goofball country bans it, like China--"

I DIED LMFAO
Yooo I was done when they did that. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Some people were smuggling their money out of China that way. Their government doesn't like that, not one bit(coin).
To be fair, that was only so china could roll out their own government sponsored crypto lol
Best part 🤣🤣🤣

Still waiting bitcoin to fail...
@@boejiden You'd be waiting forever if you think bitcoin is an investment that will outperform the S&P over the next 10 years. Bitcoin might plummet or it might move mostly sideways over the next 10 years, but there's no underlying company that is growing profits organically. It's a pure gamble because you hope the next person will pay you more for your bitcoin than you did.
@@boejidenit will, and then rise, and then fall, and then rise and then fall and it'll keep on doing this until the dollar is gone. Any ideas when that might be?
Honestly if the government collapses peeps that have medical training and those that have backyard gardens are going to be on the top of the financial gains ladder. Definitely not cryptocurrencies that will depend on people remembering passwords from 15 years ago and electricity.
Better keep growing those tomatoes then.
Yeah medical knowledge and farming will be financially gainful, if we forget the proceeding reduction of everyone to destitution the immeasurable blip at the end due to hard work and endless study will make it all worth while to get to be happily well fed in the cannibalistic apocalypse. :)
Argentina had real collapse and when the power went out people were able to transact with bitcoin on mobile network that had backup power. When the power is on they mine cryptos to feed their families.
I thought it was going to be the marauders like in Mad Max who held the power after a political collapse.
@@CorpseCallosum how many people? Everyone in Argentina? Or the 5 people in the entire country who actually understand how it's supposed to work, AND had backup power on their mobile networks?

Thanks Mate, the sad truth is that no one has a clue, we all react to what happens as it happens and try to analyse it but can’t predict an iota of what is going to unfold in the markets… content creators are like amplifiers, when times are good they affirm it and try to tell you why it’s good and that it’s looking bullish but then all of a sudden the market turns bearish and everyone affirms it again and try to analyse why… it’s so sad that many are so powerless and it's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 19Bitcoin in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Craig Reeder whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape..
He's mostly on Telegrams, using the user name
CraigReeder
I appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the team behind Reeder ’s trade signal service.
Productivity is never accidental; it is always the result of careful planning, dedication, and consistency.
Trading without professional guide... Huh I laugh you, because you will remain where you are or even make huge losses that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders.
The fact that a Gemini crypto ad ran at the end of this video make it even better!
The irony of getting an add about a crypto card before a video about trashing crypto is palatable
Comedy writes itself.
Kinda takes some wind out of his 'you can't use it to buy most things' sails though. Only anything you can buy with a visa or Mastercard haha
as a tech guy i understand blockchain and never thought it would rise so high. technically its not really that great. but psychologically and socially it became very important for some reason and established itself as "digital gold". but then again there is no reason why gold should be so expensive... we just make it so
If you think blockchain isn't that great from a technology standpoint, then no, you don't understand it
@@RunBayou but it isn't. It's inefficient and not suited for 95% of the applications people try to shoehorn it into. Most products that claim they use blockchain don't really use blockchain because it would be a terrible choice for what they're trying to do. Even with financials, you don't really get a ledger of every transaction because of how the exchanges operate.
@@jetfirexx Having a 100% secure ledger with the only 'downside' that it has to stay sufficiently decentralized is a pretty damn good tool to sovle some specific modern problems. And defi is transitioning to proof-of-stake which is far more efficient. But indeed too many things are shoehorned into it, it's becoming hilarious.
@@joris425 "the ONLY 'downside' " haha. Yes apart from that it's perfect. 🙄🤦♂️
Personally i don't really care about blockchain, all i care about it that it's fairly stable because big banks have invested in it, but it's also volatile so i can buy and sell the highs and dips.... i made a lot of money :D
I don't always agree with Warren Buffett, but I agree when he says he won't invest in something he doesn't understand. I've avoided crypto for that reason.
I understand it very well. Which is why I stay as far away from it as I can.
“Always has been!” - well that was joyfully unexpected!
As a blockchain developer, who mostly understands how it all works, I am amazed that Roger is not technically wrong about anything in this video.
Don't lie. your not a blockchain developer or not a very good one. Most of what he said was a huge over generalisation and not what most proper crypto requires or is about.
@@alimfuzzy if you think you know better, explain better, maybe providing a few specific examples on where the video got it wrong.
@@alimfuzzy you seem.upset lol
@@phillipjiang1593 replied twice YT deletes them. Just look up proof of stake vs proof of work and proof of authority.
Most of this video only applies to the crap coins.

I love the energy in this video. Roger (Jack Hunter) has such a charming attitude and it's really funny to see him playing fast and loose with memes.
I felt either I'm smart or out of touch b/c I'm an old guy, but Cryptocurrency seems like a scam and Roger just told me it is. Thank you, Roger.
It's not a scam unless someone tricks you into trying to invest in it. Otherwise, it's just money that could be useful and might some day win out, though Bitcoin in particular does seem to waste a lot of energy and just fuel the global warming that is going to destroy everything (financially) anyway. I don't quite agree with this video's attitude. But yes, if you're going to pay attention to it, understand what it is.
Its not exactly a scam, people genuinely believe it has value but the problem is that it doesnt. Its like an overrated car brand that sells terrible cars but is able to sell them for so much because everyone stupidly believes in its value
@jabroni destroyer , dude, look into it rather than just riffing on some comedy video. You can buy things, albeit not much. There's nothing stopping anyone from buying or selling with Bitcoin/whatever cryptocurrency. Did I tell you that you should pay me for it? no. I've never obtained any Bitcoin either.
If it is a scam, it is less of one than the dollars in your bank account which is exactly why you should own at least some bitcoin. 1/10th of a coin costs around 4300 USD. 1/100 is 430 USD. WHEN bitcoin goes to a million 1/100th would be worth 10k. That's a 20x increase. You will not want to sell it though because it will just keep going up over time. You can use it as collateral and borrow against it. Pay no tax.
@jabroni destroyer I literally just bought my groceries with Doge coins today at Walmart. I live in a little mountain town in wyoming..........
