    As someone who used to use cryptocurrency, almost nobody uses cryptocurrency.

    Then how did Bitcoin get popular?

    My girlfriend works for a crypto exchange, and nobody in her company uses cryptocurrency.

    • What about the other people? (Buyers and sellers)
    • This is one company.

      Speculation and money laundering is what made Bitcoin popular. Everyone who has used it knows that it is highly impractical as an actual payment method.
