Poop, you're misrepresenting everyone's positions including your own. You're the naysayer saying crypto is a bad bet. Everyone else seems to be unsure but thinks to a greater or lesser extent it's a worthwhile bet.

Further, you keep shift the goal posts. There are plenty of valid critiques of fiat itt and you just come back with "well it's the status quo, so it can't be that bad!"

As for the vested interests nixing crypto, well, they really don't have that many levers they can pull, and it's evidenced by the fact that many big players are simply getting on board. Will it ultimately fully replace fiat? Who knows? Will BTC 10x from here? Who knows? Will crypto implode and become a curiosity of history? It's possible, but pretty unlikely at this point.
