    People abandoned the idea of using most cryptocurrency for everyday payment years ago. The big use cases right now are for ledger payments (think companies settling accounts) and "Decentralized Finance", which is a way for people to take loans and speculate with zero oversight or regulation, or basically for individuals to be margin lenders (lend people money to buy other crypto, stocks, etc.)

      Distributed ledger is cool.

      The rest is just capitalism approaching self-parody.
