Cryptos are worth billions but you cant buy pizza. Blockchain is bullet proof technology that is taking notice of any transaction so it is impossible to take money, but it is easy to hack account where people actually hold money, most probably by bank owners them self. Then they say `we are sorry`. But since all this is unregulated, nobody is responsible. Also, the guys with most crypto-money are now most probably calling for regulation so they hope that cryptos will be used for transactions (not only speculating like now is the case) and will be able to hold some of `values` they have in speculating cryptos. Meanwhile, there are very powerful players who actually try to sell as much as possible and in the same time keep hype so more suckers keep buying. Meantime no or very few actual business are build on blockchain idea and I know few that are trying but it is quite slow process for many reasons (regulation, taxes, old business etc.)... > Thank you. > -J.
