It is the way all lottery works.

You are more likely to be hit by lightning than to win the lottery. Yet people believe they will win every time.

What is the point of using them if you are expected to switch them to an actual real fiat just to keep your value?

Never happening doesn't mean they don't try.

That is almost a fundamental statement, requiring logical proof.

It's like with a computer program that can contain vulnerabilities - fixing vulnerabilities might introduce new ones, and new functionality intended for security can contain new vulnerabilities in itself, possibly making the whole even less secure than without it.

You are wrong.

Fortunately I don't really fatigue from it much, if anything I just got hot after a while.

And grifting is specific to any one form of currency because...?

Well, you said it: using crypto.

I believe you don't hold massive stacks of cash under your bed, though you might occasionally withdraw cash.

I also believe you don't keep all your money on your normal bank account. You invest some, as investing is better in some situations.

Well, for crypto it's the same. Sometimes it's better to pay in crypto, like in situations where you don't want to be tracked because you're privacy concious, or maybe because you don't trust or hate banks, or because you like the technology and want to see it develop, or because of international payment/transfer fees, or because your economy is overinflated (like in poorer countries)...

You can also decide to take the potential risks and hold the crypto, or just swap to a stablecoin. Stores prefer switching to fiat to simplify their legal declarations, have clear incomes and expenses. They just accept crypto because customers want to pay with it.

Not sure what your link is supposed to prove. I could make the exact same site but with problems related to the banking system, and trust me, it would be a lot worse.

Okay but we were talking about BTC pump and dumps and to perform that on the massive scale which dwarfs any stock ticker below the top 5 by hundreds of billions of dollars while somehow completely illuding people who watch the blockchain like hawks for big movers...

It's just not feasible. You would have to be much richer than the official richest man on earth and have almost all of your assets liquid and then on top of that you would need millions of wallets acting asynchronously. And why would you even bother? If you're that rich you could just not hide it.
