But up to now, crypto seems to have only led to chaos. Value changing by huge amount, pretty much constant stealing of massive sums by supposedly safe and large institutions. Even the relatively trusted coinbase has endless claims of poor treatment of their customers, losing funds.
I don’t think the thefts were by institutions considered safe or large. MtGox was always a tiny sketchy company (and I held coins there). I never kept more than half of my coins anywhere because I knew they could disappear at any moment. I don’t see how a conscientious person could have concluded otherwise.
Value has changed a lot, but that was expected too. There are stable broad trends. Seeing the stability is just a matter of seeing timescales.
I guess I don’t share your definition of chaos. Chaos means you can’t predict anything reliably. You can predict many things about Bitcoin.
Taken to the extreme, your comment seems to come from a “anything that’s not a US treasury bond is total chaos” viewpoint. But I know that’s not what you intended... perhaps you can clarify?
