Ok
No seriously, for me personally, bitcoin is impracticable for daily real life use, nobody accepts bitcoin for payment IRL, I mean generally speaking you can always find a geek somewhere that would accept it, and that's about it
I can't even pay my taxes with it, and I'm not more relaxed with it than I'm with classic fund transfer when it comes to donations toward poal for instance, however brave attention tokens solve this problem since I don't have to buy the said tokens in the first place with any currency... And then I can donate my brave attention tokens to poal.... Which in turn can be converted into real currency by poal
That's the only crypto I use, not only because it's very handy and super cheap and effective, but also because it provides a real solution to a real problem, guilt by association is a thing where I'm at if you see what I mean
Yeah. See Bitcoin is like... A gigantic mine truck. Huge. Lumbering. Expensive. Powerful. Unstoppable. Not user friendly. Bitcoin will not be and should never be a micropayment tool for grandma just like a gigantic mine truck is overkill for grandma to drive down and get groceries with. I mean sure the mine truck will get it done but it lacks elegance at that scale. Grandma needs a Honda civic. Now reverse that. Would you want to operate an enormous mine with the trunks of Honda civics to move the overburden? Probably not.
Bitcoin is a heavy structural currency designed to run as a backbone for heavy industry, heavy wealth, large purchases like real estate and infrastructure. At this it excells!
See how comfortable you would be purchasing a house with BAT tokens... How confident are you in their security for a multimillion dollar funds storage and transfer?
I hope that makes sense and the above is the reason I'm not some closed-minded maxi of any kind. I like gold and I like Blockchain gold-synthetic assets like PAXG. I wish there were a lot more of those out there.
I can't wait to see NFTs start to be linked to real estate and used as diplomas... This is already starting NOW with Alchemy University.
We should use these tools as they are Intended. We should teach others to do the same. We should engage and support business willing to stand against the catch-22 you describe above.
I never said it would be easy.
