Perhaps Americans don't see the point of crypto since USD is the world reserve currency for now, but cryptocurrency has been a great way to have economic non-cooperation with authoritarian regimes.

When the government can inflate the currency at whim to pay out their billionaire friends while leaving the common man to suffer, crypto is a nice escape hatch since it has a fixed inflation rate. You don't have to worry about government supression of funds for journalists either.

The most pathetic system? You can criticize crypto without resorting to petty insults, which just makes your position appear weaker.

Theoronic fingers that satoshi nakamoto actually developed bitcoin as a proof of concept, not as a full payment system.

I think the technology itself has great potential, though capitalism using it for the worst reasons imaginable and making it as inefficient as physically possible will never show us the true potential of this technology.

Under different social structures, it could possibly be a pretty great foundation for new kinds of monetary systems

Crypto is for money laundering, drugs and terror regimes (to get around sanctions). Most "crypto bros" are actually Putin trolls. Prove me wrong.
