Hi, Tech Literate person here
Crypto is a joke in search of a problem that has attracted a cult of personality ("obviously detractors are just the US government!")
In its entire lifespan the uses of crypto (by and large) I've seen went something like
- Curiosity for edge-case nerds
- Buying drugs on Silk Road
- HOLY SHIT I SHOULD PUT MY RETIREMENT IN THIS I'LL BE A BILLIONAIRE!
- Buying ugly monkey jpegs
This is ignoring all the absolutely monumental abuse of the entire sphere it generated and just trying to name the major "uses" over the last decade-plus
- meroes 3y agoThe only novel use case that has impacted my life is friends trying to move money out of failing countries without detection. There’s no coincidence that this scam operates the same way. Sick of the crypto bros denying the other side and blaming humans or computers.
