Curious how something so heavily marketed by cryptobros as a modern currency alternative to big banking is almost always only being talked about as an object of investment. As if it is really nothing but yet another speculative scheme for people who are the rich to get richer.
Nothing strange about basic marketing.
Like the bosses at your job? Yeah, it's kind of like that.
You don't have to understand the chemical properties of gold to buy and sell it.
You don't like investments, fine. That works out well for those who do. Most complain while standing still, some act.
It's not a decentralised currency though is it.
And stable coins are just another way for the US to issue debt
Bitcoin? Yes, it is fundamentally decentralized.
If you don't know something ask questions and learn. You're wasting so much time arguing against your own assumptions.
