MODERATORS
NFTs and (x)coin speculation really made a lot of people sour on cryptocurrency, fairly or unfairly.
There are legitimate uses for crypto, I don’t think Mastercard, Visa, or your bank need to know what size dildos you’re buying online. But people treating it like a high value stock instead of actual currency really hampered it’s wide adoption imo.
You are so right about this... Unfortunately...
I use monero for this reason. It has actual usage as a currency and maintains a fairly stable value. Sure, it fluctuates, but it does so rather slowly compared to others. It doesnt drop 15+% overnight.
