I do not own any Crypto Currency, but...
...If you think that CC is any LESS legitimate that than dollar, you may need to do some more reading on our current financial system.

Who and what backs the crypto currencies? Typically nobody and nothing. However, there are plenty that are backed by all sorts of various things (not that it makes them inherently better than non-backed cryptos). Tether was the big one in the news lately. It was backed by the US Dollar, but as it turns out, that might not be the best idea as it's looking like it facilitated some manipulation of other coins - predominately Bitcoin. I've heard of plenty of other examples that are backed by everything from gold and diamonds to oil. I'd suggest that having the currency backed by something isn't all that important. It's probably preferable to have no backing. If a crypto is backed by something, then someone needs to hold and custody that something, and now that custodial party can have an undesirable influence on the overlying cryptocurrency.

And just to throw this out there, it makes more sense to have a dollar (or whatever) backed by a cryptocurrency than a cryptocurrency backed by a dollar.
The cryptocurrency can at least be finite in supply.

...If you think that CC is any LESS legitimate that than dollar, you may need to do some more reading on our current financial system. I'm a firm maybe on crypto. Who and what backs the crypto currencies? Let me tell you something Pop. I read this article a while back, that said that Microsoft employs more millionaire secretary's that any other company in the world. They took stock options over Christmas bonuses. It was a good move. I remember there was this picture, of one of the groundskeepers next to his Ferrari. Blew my mind. you see stuff like that, and it just plants seeds, makes you think its possible, even easy. And then you turn on the TV, and there's just more of it. The $87 Million lottery winner, that kid actor that just made 20 million o his last movie, that internet stock that shot through the roof, you could have made millions if you had just gotten in early, and that's exactly what I wanted to do: get in. I didn't want to be an innovator any more, I just wanted to make the quick and easy buck, I just wanted in. The Notorious BIG said it best: "Either you're slingin' crack-rock, or you've got a wicked jump-shot." Nobody wants to work for it anymore. There's no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee's, honor's in the Crypto.

There's no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee's, honor's in the Crypto. What is your advice on dogs? This is a very common question which I get all the time, and my response begins with, How do you react when youre walking with her and see other dogs? Quite frequently, without knowing it, the human will see another dog long before her dog does, and whats the reaction? Oh no, another dog, mine will bark, and then they tense up on the leash and have just sent the wrong energy: Something here is making me nervous. Boom. Your dog senses the threat, and is ready to be aggressive. You need to learn to not react to the possibility of walking by other dogs first, so that you wont draw your dogs attention to them. Next is to learn your dogs energythat first sign that shes about to bark, and then apply the correction right before she does. It takes patience and practice, but it can be done!
