"Cryptocurrency" is a misnomer, because none of them are actual currencies.
Cryptocurrencies are classified, for now, as securities.
Currency is currency and cryptocurrency is not. So please do not attempt to compare apples to oranges here.

If you wish to compare cryptosecurities to other securities, then do that, but don't try to act like it is some sort of future utopian currency.
Cryptocurrencies are not classified as securities. Bitcoin and Ethereum, the largest cryptocurrencies, were both declared as non securities by the SEC.
