<human>:  do you think I am a fool for investing in crypto
<bot>: First, we should talk about what “investing” in cryptocurrency is. Investing is often defined as buying a valuable asset for the purpose of making money off of its future value. I.e. an asset is an investment if you believe that you can sell it at some point in the future for more money than you paid for it. In some ways, investing in cryptocurrencies is similar to investing in stocks or shares, where you buy a share of a company and hope to profit off the value of that company’s business. In this case, the cryptocurrency you buy is similar to a share of the company that created it. In particular, if you believe the company has a valuable product and plan to release it to the public, you might choose to buy their cryptocurrency because you believe it will increase in value in the future, making the cryptocurrency a good investment.
