# Crypto is a solution for the unbanked
# Crypto is not a solution for the unbanked
Crypto is not a solution to unbanked, because by its [deflationary](../concepts/deflationary.md) design it [cannot function as a currency](is-bitcoin-currency.md) therefore it is unusable as a scaleable means for purchasing goods and services.

# Bitcoin can function as a currency
# Bitcoin cannot function as a currency
Unlike the namesake of "cryptocurrency" might imply, [bitcoin](../concepts/bitcoin.md) is not a [currency](../concepts/currency.md). It does not fulfil the economic definition of [money](../concepts/money.md). Instead bitcoin is best understood as a [speculative](../concepts/speculation.md) [cryptoasset](../concepts/cryptoasset.md) or [gambling](../concepts/gambling.md) product.

# Crypto assets are predatory investments
Crypto assets are a form of predatory financial product. Crypto asset [market making](../concepts/market-maker.md) is subject to extreme forms of [market manipulation](../concepts/market-manipulation.md) not found in other regulated markets. The [price-formation](../concepts/price-formation.md) of crypto assets is untethered to any [fundamental-value](../concepts/fundamental-value.md) and instead depends purely on the [greater-fool-theory](../concepts/greater-fool-theory.md).
The price setting by crypto excahnges and [order-book](../concepts/order-book.md) design admits extreme forms of [asymmetric-information](../concepts/asymmetric-information.md) which privileges an [economic cartel](../concepts/cartel.md) who can manipulate crypto assets to extract wealth from public from unfair market making.
