JordanSo Priya, our seminar on cryptocurrency — remind me why we picked it over the other topics?
PriyaWell, online banking felt a bit boring, and you originally wanted to do taxation. In the end we went with crypto because everyone has a strong opinion on it, yet hardly anyone actually understands how it works.
JordanExactly. And for me, the real appeal of crypto isn't getting rich quick, whatever people say — it's that no bank or government controls it.
PriyaI'm with you on that. By the way, the thing that genuinely shocked me while reading was the sheer amount of electricity that mining uses — apparently more than some entire countries consume.
JordanWe have to mention that. Now, of all the dangers, which one should we stress as the biggest?
PriyaPeople worry about hacking and scams, and yes, those are real, but I'd say the biggest risk for an ordinary buyer is how wildly the price swings from one day to the next.
