It is annoying semi annoying maybe but like I use it to do black market things, anarchy stuff, getting medicine where gov provides shit. It is such a crutch
But you dare to mention it on mainstream media and you will get lynched or banned for whatever reason nowadays.
Kinda irks me because it helps with my disability so much to get stuff I need, medicine. I couldn’t function without it
Just ranting I guess, I do too much of rants admittedly
Edit: So I see all the scams created bias about this tech which is unfortunate. But looking aside this tech is pretty rad though maybe too much resource intensive depending on implementation
From an IT perspective, blockchain technology is a solution in search of a problem. From an environmental perspective, crypto is a disaster. From an economical perspective it’s too unstable to be anything but gambling.
Buying drugs over the internet is the only real reason crypto currencies can be useful. Hell even in person it’s better to use cash.
Maybe that’s the only use case but it is fucking good at it. Amazingly good
Besides cash could be removed by govs to ‘protect us’
And obviously cash cannot be used over distance
Cryptography gives power to the people. US even wanted cryptography banned at some point but it turned out not feasible so they pretended they changed mind
Lemmy is another thing that gives me hope in the future
