Crypto in general is a lifeline from the debt based economy. It amazes me how many people are unfamiliar with how fiat currency works. Fractional-reserve banking allows banks to create money out of thin air, based on nothing, with no real value and create debt. The money is to be paid back, plus interest from money that doesn't exist - so the banks print and lend more money. Perpetual debt. It is a racket and will continue to be. People I know are hesitant to invest in crypto because it 'isn't real' yet they think dollars created out of thin by corrupt institutions are real. I highly advise anyone to start educating themselves on alternatives because the blockchain technology is revolutionary.
