Decentralized systems, peer to peer, Blockchain, smart contracts, are all important technologies with real use cases. It is not accurate to refer to any of them as simply "crypto" especially in this context.


Are they now


[flagged]


It's true. Latin America already knows it, USA and Europe are yet to catch up. Most of crypto is bullshit, but at the very least Bitcoin is a massive, massive use case.


The fact that you don't say what the usecase actually is kind of spoils your poiny


What can I currently buy with Bitcoin?


Peace of mind


Less bitcoin


So you’re happy to continue forever with the system we have now - governments printing with no consequence?


No, but I'm not going to invest in a bunch of grifters and con artists holding up a technically bad solution because they want money and power.


Commercial banks make up most central banks, and if you believe commercial banks aren't grifters or con artists, you've obviously never heard of LIBOR for starters.

As for bad solutions, I'll give you incorrect economic forecasts on inflation and using interest rates as a lever.


Nobody is asking you to invest in banks and or wallstreet.
