    Are you sure you are not confusing propaganda with what crypto is actually used for?

    I don’t care how easy it is to set up a wallet. I cannot take my crypto and go down to the bodega and buy a sandwich. I can’t pay my rent with crypto. I can’t pay my utilities with crypto.

    Crypto is not a usable currency for the vast majority of people.

      Before the government enforced credit cards and made them mandatory it would have been really hard to buy a sandwich in bodega with a credit card too. Not sure where you live but these days in most places if you want you can literally pay with all sort of service, they have these big cash registers with the screen that accepts all soft of payment youtubers advertise for.

      Crypto is not a usable currency for the vast majority of people.

      There aren’t any limits that prevents the majority of people from creating a crypto wallet and using cryptocurrencies

        This is why people laugh at you cryptobros. I literally tell you why it’s not a usable currency and you tell me it totes is.

        Go back to speeding up climate change with your fake currency and stop trying to pretend normal people are using it to for anything other than unregulated securities trading.

          cryptocurrencies provides an open alternative to a centralized and rotten financial system that is at the core of consumerism and the speedrun of mankind into oblivion.

            You practically use the energy output of a nuclear reactor to process transactions. So I think you’re the ones pushing the expediation of the human races extinction. What’s worse is your been obnoxious while doing it.

              Every time you pay with your credit card or use an ATM the same thing happen, with the difference that you are not using a decentralized and open source service.

                Incorrect. I don’t use the output of a small town. You use power but nowhere near what cryptocurrencies require.

                  I think you are literally using that since ATM are open 24h
