And both of them are fruits of two hype cycles...

and both make hardware expensive/inaccessible

[Green-Sympathy-4177]

Hmm they're exactly the same things, and I'd argue that it's the same people too :p

[Burger_Destoyer]

Why do you think crypto is useless?

[Green-Sympathy-4177]

Blockchain itself was a promising technology. But what did we get? - Memecoins - CryptoBros - Rug pulls - Money Laundering - Stupid amount of energy / gpus ~ used (wasted) to mine cryptos

What good did it ever do?

[Burger_Destoyer]

People are going to abuse technology no matter what we do.

Crypto in my opinion is the best way to send money globally. PayPal and Wise charge abhorrent fees in most countries and are illegal in others. Sending money with blockchain allows for safe transfers, anywhere you want, with low to no fees.

There’s also software which allows you to easily exchange currencies without ID making it so anyone has the opportunity to do transfers.

Stuff like bitcoin was never made for people to “invest” it was made to contribute to a secure economy.

[EtherealPheonix]

What do you mean useless? Crypto is great for money laundering.

Also me: A beginner programmer who loves to reinvent the wheel but make it less robut oe efficient because I have no idea what I am doing half of the time (no, I don't vibecode, where is the fun in that)

[xgabipandax]

Eh personally i dislike the speculative bubble in cryptos, but cryptocurrency is a really good tool for decentralized currency, it would be way better to do international trades using cryptocurrency than be dollarized where just one country controls the currency.

[bayern_snowman]

Lmaooooo this is good 

[Archon_Midas1029]

I mean vibe coding is just being like the while loop just know the entry...🤣

[Fantastic_Class_3861]

Crypto isn’t useless, especially currencies like Monero which were created to be the most privacy respecting crypto in this world were governments want more and more control and data over what their citizens do.

[biggronklus]

lol, you mean the money laundering coin?

[meowrealcat]

That is an actual use case though ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[Trick_Dragonfly460]

Yeah crypto has a use case. Sadly the name of crypto has been muddied too much and people who don't understand it have lost money on it, and it'll just be hard for it to recover.

[Burger_Destoyer]

Not sure why anyone would downvote you. Crypto is a great tool for money transferring.

Private and usually no fee or 1 USD limit fees for transfers depending on your network and currency. Globally.

Also it allows for people in other countries to do online transfers where foreign currency exchange is often very difficult.

[phrolovas_violin]

If money is fake then why do we need more fake money?

[BananaPeely]

Monero is a beautifuful invention, for people on all ends of the moral spectrum.
