This cryptocurrency rant is offtopic. Would it make a difference if Norton would install something that shows ads? As to your question - crypto is the new form of cash, different form every other forms we have known before. One exciting property is the relative independence from any particular economical or political system. Blockchain in general has potential to replace all middleman from lots of transactions. Think of property, fundraising, stocks, trade (especially overseas), etc. Specific implementations can be regulated by government(s), the point is to replace bookkeepers with machines.

> crypto is the new form of cash Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've heard this like thousands of times. And yet crypto isn't being used like cash. Everyone is encouraged to "hodl" their crypto not spend it. It's being pushed as an inflation hedge like gold. Even most crypto folks don't seem to be pushing the "it's a new form of cash" narrative anymore.

The machines don’t run themselves, what is this the Matrix? The middlemen are now the core developers and the whales that own majority of the asset. Are you voting for the ETH merge? Or are you just along for the ride? You still pay fees to transact, I hardly see a practical difference.
