Debate: Crypto's Only Use-Case Is Speculation
summary
Argues that censorship‑resistant money creates censorship-resistant liquidity fragmentation so anyone can mint assets, fragment pools and profit from perpetual arbitrage, making trading the highest‑yield activity; counters claim that public ledgers and fast settlement produce near‑instant price discovery, reduce asymmetric information, and force overcollateralized on‑chain lending, limiting credit speculation. Cites rollups, oracle pricing, high‑throughput exchanges and the goal of bringing NASDAQ‑style markets on‑chain as mechanisms that amplify or constrain speculation.
