To never have experienced a usefulness of cryptocurrency is a privileged position to be in.

Ah yes lets ignore the tons of co2 which has direct impact of primarily poor people around the whole globe and the energy stealing which also is happening through bitcoin to make the case for alll of this for a handful of techsavy people in a handful of countries who are apparently now able to get their money through crypto but also have to now find people taking this?

Yeah no.

You know what happened in el salvador? A Lot of people got their initial crypto stolen.

And you know what real people do? They use euros and dollars as hard cash. Like i have seen in Iran.

    That's true for bitcoin, but not for cryptocurrencies in general. Especially those that moved to proof-of-stake.

  • “Yeah no.”

    Ah yes let’s ignore the tons of energy being used in giant data centers run by visa and Mastercard to operate the payment cards used by billions of people around the world.

    “Yeah no.”

    You know what happened in USA? A lot of people got their cash stolen.

    Your arguments are as coherent as the dissonant “Yeah no.”

    • "Yeah no" have had these arguments for ages and nothing has changed.

      Bitcoin uses a massive amount of energy and has neither the transaction amount, nor the transaction speed and a LOT of features missing which visa/mastercard and a normal bank provide.

      Losing your key to a wallet? BTC gone

      Fraud? Yeah and now what?

      Seller or buyer protection? hahaha no

      Lets not compare apples with stones okay?
