    I don’t know much about crypto but this doesn’t seem right?

    Didnt it hit an all time high recently? All while no one is using it to buy anything anymore?

    A coin is worth what someone will pay for it, and people are paying lots because they think it will be worth more later.

    It has no inherent value or utility.
