For example, I mainly hold crypto that I’ll be using for payments, or those I deem technologically interesting.
I’ve already made many crypto payments, know how they pretty much work, and prefer using them than paying by card, because fuck the banking system and those greedy visa/mastercard that takes huge cuts from payments. Also, anonymity benefit: don’t always want my name to be known, for example when donating to an individual or particular cause
They extra costs of creditcards is why I use a modern bankcard, but the US is really behind on that so for some things I need to use my CC
Wdym by "modern bankcard"? And I feel like the USA are pretty good in terms of crypto
A chipped bank card aka what the rest of us use with modern standards like 2FA etc
