That was the internet in the beginning as well. For the average person in 1996/98/20 computers and the internet did not offer anything.
Today cryto provides the only way to perform a money transaction outside of the censored markets. An example, onlyfans, poor hub decided to ditch a type of content to please visa/mastercard. Cryto would allow society to ignore forced morals on money transactions. If what onlyfans provide is legal visa should not be allowed to shut them down on moral terms.
It may not be useful to you. The internet wasn't useful to most in 1995. It might be more useful in a few years where the masses have joined and the network effect is in place.
I remember when computers were seen as not useful in the 80s.. a toy that could do very little. Things change quickly.
- mgh2 5y agoAre you suggesting that it is only useful to criminals? I am surprised you did not even mention the poor on 3rd world countries - unless this is too, a marketing stunt by the crypto community.
- ipaddr 5y agoI didn't mention criminals but I did refer to onlyfans and pornhub which are real businesses in a legal sense but get refused credit card processing because they are taboo topics. Criminals, the third world, a certain class of the first world all users use it. Who knows what the future holds but the next few years might be more marketing vs technology improvements in cryto. The problem with adoption is a big one to tackle next and moves like this help.
