It is annoying semi annoying maybe but like I use it to do black market things, anarchy stuff, getting medicine where gov provides shit. It is such a crutch
But you dare to mention it on mainstream media and you will get lynched or banned for whatever reason nowadays.
Kinda irks me because it helps with my disability so much to get stuff I need, medicine. I couldn’t function without it
Just ranting I guess, I do too much of rants admittedly
Edit: So I see all the scams created bias about this tech which is unfortunate. But looking aside this tech is pretty rad though maybe too much resource intensive depending on implementation
Aside from fairly limited use doing… let’s call them privacy-minded things, a lot of cryptocurrencies are useless bandwagoning at best, highly random objects for speculation in many cases, or obvious, unrepentant pyramid schemes or other fraudulent bullshit at worst.
Cryptobros have managed to completely destroy everyone’s patience for it by relentlessly pitching The Next Bitcoin (one of the zillion different ones, that is) every millisecond for years, to anyone not physically resisting it, so… yeah, now nobody wants to listen anymore. Go figure.
Eh who cares about these cryptoschemes really i mean yeah I can understand that. They always were stinking of fraud
Shitcoins they were called iirc
I only love crypto because it evades facist gov. Seems more and more needed as time goes on
But then imo we are heading into cyberpunk reality
Who cares? The people whose opinion you specifically asked about, for starters. That’s why I’m mentioning it. You were asking why people are losing their patience with cryptocurrency evangelism: that’s the answer. Cryptocurrencies have few “legit” (or at least legit-seeming to most people) uses, and are now mostly associated with crime, fraud, pump and dump schemes and “speculation” (gambling by any other name).
Crypto is a fascists government’s wet dream - they can literally follow the chain of transactions, and bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous at best unless you as a user take extra steps to anoymize yourself.
