What's so frustrating about it is that every argument against crypto can also apply to fiat currency. The only one that holds water is the waste of electricity argument, which is why it's important to invest in Proof of Stake coins like Etherium. So even that argument is a weak one at best. I just don't understand the hate.
are you advocating for crypto as a payment system that's supplementary or as a full replacement for fiat currency?
Full replacement, otherwise there's no point and Visa still controls everything.
Well said! And same! The hate is entirely manufactured imo. Anyone with eyes can see that Bitcoin increased in value from .001 cents to $120,000 between 2009 and 2025. In that same 26 years what did the stock market do? Ride a rollercoaster of bullshit. The value of crypto is literally better than anything else in the last 2 decades, and that scares the people who control the fiat system outside it.
