For the first time, US residents can now invest in memecoins through traditional brokerages. Trading will only get stranger from here.

My brother-in-law is big into crypto, I've had the same arguement with him so many times I've lost count. Investment requires that you invest in something that has value that will actually increase, and other than the crypto bros no one's buying into cryptocurrencies so the value isn't going to increase.

Anyway he's rich, so I suppose it doesn't really matter but it's such a waste of money. Like if you want to invest get into stocks and shares at least they actually do increase in value.
