Boom! Thats what I was going for. Lemmy seems so anti-crypto when it has real use cases like this. Even here stumbling into where it’s useful you call it bullshit, why?
Well there are risks when using crypto that traditional payment methods have safeguards for. Stealing a wallet ID, no chargeback options, scammers like using crypto because there’s basically no consumer protections in place, lots of these digital currencies are scams, it’s kind of a minefield.

All valid concerns. I’d argue all also manageable with some education, experience, and common sense.

But those requirements are at odds with wider adoption. Most people are stupid.
Remember George Carlin’s words: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
