Agree in principle, but there is a place for digital money. That’s why it’s viable and sensible to pay for web services like VPNs, hosting, domains, with Monero.
Low cost transactions to allow for micropayments make sense with a low cost digital currency.
But yes, while there is a place for digital money that doesn’t equal cryptocurrency. For instance, I haven’t held physical legal tender in my hands in ages. All my purchases go through online banking systems (via credit cards or my bank’s web ui) and I don’t even remember what my local bank notes look like anymore.
The big difference is that established banking system (which I have my own reservations about) have checks, failsafes and customer securities to ensure that when the next crash comes, we have some chance to recover our losses.
Those checks and fail-safes have value but come at a cost. Middlemen want their cut. So it doesn’t make sense to have micro transactions online, so there is a gap in the market for quick low cost low value payments.
Yeah but who the hell would want that?
The “Grow your own services” site has the best crypto/web3 rundown of why cryptocurrencies can get in the fucking sea.

No need to insult me.

Crypto has a huge cost per transaction in comparison to just about any other system in place which provide more services and protections.
