    I don’t care how easy it is to set up a wallet. I cannot take my crypto and go down to the bodega and buy a sandwich. I can’t pay my rent with crypto. I can’t pay my utilities with crypto.

    There aren’t any limits that prevents the majority of people from creating a crypto wallet and using cryptocurrencies

    This is why people laugh at you cryptobros. I literally tell you why it’s not a usable currency and you tell me it totes is.

    Go back to speeding up climate change with your fake currency and stop trying to pretend normal people are using it to for anything other than unregulated securities trading.

      cryptocurrencies provides an open alternative to a centralized and rotten financial system that is at the core of consumerism and the speedrun of mankind into oblivion.

        Yet it still isn’t a usable currency for normal people, and the usage of it is a (gross as well as net) negative to society is directly contributing to, to quote you, the “speedrun of mankind into oblivion.”

        You practically use the energy output of a nuclear reactor to process transactions. So I think you’re the ones pushing the expediation of the human races extinction. What’s worse is your been obnoxious while doing it.

          Every time you pay with your credit card or use an ATM the same thing happen, with the difference that you are not using a decentralized and open source service.

            Incorrect. I don’t use the output of a small town. You use power but nowhere near what cryptocurrencies require.

              I think you are literally using that since ATM are open 24h

                Please go look up the power usage of the two things and then come back and actually talk to me rather than just making stuff up because you like it.

                An ATM uses a dribble of power compared to a server
