Haven’t Zelle and Venmo pretty much replaced any need for PayPal? It seems like a dinosaur. I can’t remember the last time I used PayPal. I’ve written paper checks more recently than I’ve used it.

Venmo is owned by Paypal.

I will confess having an amount of glee watching bitcoin and its cousins come down to earth, a crash landing would be nice, better than a NASCAR pileup.

I try not to cheer when others lose money. Today it's them, tomorrow it might be me. Although I get it.

I have long thought that crypto was a greater fool game. It has no intrinsic value that I can see.

No argument from me on that. But I would say gold is the same, other than it is physical. Is there value in being able to touch it? Some might argue there is. And we certainly see there are a lot of stocks running in the greater fool game.

I would agree that much of gold's value is similar to crypto, but it does have some valuable commercial properties.
