  there sure are many crypto scams, but I hate people generalizing it to all cryptos

    To be fair there isn’t a lot of use for cryptocurrencies for legitimate purposes for 99% of people. Given its niche use case it’s talked about an awful lot.

    I’ve been in countries whose economies are so bad that you need 10,000 of the local currency to buy a loaf of bread. Even they don’t use cryptocurrencies, they just deal with it or they use the US dollar unofficially.

      Sadly, indeed

      People paying everything by card won’t be interested anyways, and that’s a LOT of people

      I’ve heard that in countries with bad economy there’s still some usage, but nothing incredible

      I’ve met people who are in those types of countries and they told me they mainly hold crypto to avoid the enormous inflation of their currency, and pay with it or exchange when they want to spend it. Basically an alternative to exchanging fiat to another fiat
