I don't expect the vast majority of ordinary people to have any interest whatsoever in crypto.
I would expect someone that has their entire net worth in paper currency to take steps similar to a bank in order to secure it -- a safe is safer than a mattress, a vault is safer than a safe -- I don't think that it's asking much for someone that is in a similar situation with cryptocurrency to take similarly large precautions.
It takes effort and study to understand how to better secure one's life, this is no different.
- carewell 4y agoIt takes no effort to keep your savings in a bank account. Literally no effort: no knowledge of the financial system, no specialized device ownership, no additional investment.
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoIt takes lots of effort to store money in a bank savings account: You need to send them info, and sign documents, and you need ID. I'm told lots of people can't get ID and don't know where the DMV is. That's why KYC is racist.
- carewell 4y agoAre you assuming that people of only a specific race don't know where the DMV is? Now that's racist.
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoI don't assume, just going by what college graduates have said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW2LpFkVfYk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW2LpFkVfYk
- carewell 4y agoPersonally I have no problems with voter ID laws (especially if they are implemented over time with an appropriate level of support). However, I don't fully understand where you stand on this crypto/KYC topic - it almost seems like you are half-trolling, half-serious. Buying crypto without KYC is becoming almost impossible, and hacky workarounds are not a scalable solution. So that's not an argument against or pro crypto.
- twelve40 4y agoso a person who is unable to find the DMV is expected to figure out how to set up and run their own wallet? They would also have to avoid major exchanges for any operations, because Coinbase KYCs the crap out of you.

- MrMan 4y agowho will keep the value of coins pumped if normal people dont buy into the FOMO? seems like a fundamental problem if only a tiny hardcore of angry anarchists represent the demand for these coins
