If you’re referring to bitcoin for that alternative money supply then I regret to inform you that it’s manipulated to hell and back, from "stable"coin printing to now ETFs.

Until Elon Musk tweets out that he will exchange Tesla vehicles for Bitcoin or that Dogecoin is a good investment.
Digital currencies are somehow worse than gambling unless you’re famous enough to do a pump-and-dump.
