      The currency can't be hacked, but the payment processors can be hacked, credentials stolen, and fraudulent sales attempted (with no forms of recourse for the person who paid for something they didn't get)...

      Sometimes I wonder where I'd be if I bought some coins back when they were 10c apiece. Then I remember I'd probably have spent it all on drugs.

        I lost a hard drive with a hundred of them and my wife spent two hundred on a pizza. it seemed fanciful at the time and it's now obvious it's a scam so I'm not that torn up about it. the reality is we'd never have kept them to it's peak because it was just a joke.

    never charge you exorbitant fees to use your money

    As if gas fees were reaching like 10% or more at certain points

    Crypto solves none of the problems of fiat currency and introduces a whole new set of issues

    The only valid use cases for crypto are drug sales and avoiding currency exchange fees, the rest is just gambling
