If only the Internet hadn't spent the last decade collectively shitting on crypto instead of maybe learning a bit about how it works and what it could be used for.
If only crypto hadn't turned out to be the 21st-century version of fine art for money laundering and/or a Ponzi scheme designed to separate fools from their money...
It turned out to be exactly what it was designed to be, a tool for making financial transactions online without needing anyone's permission.
Yeah it wasn't the internet's fault that it became a ponzi scheme for techbros. Bitcoin got co-opted from its original use first, then became a laughingstock.
There's a lot more to cryptocurrency than Bitcoin.
