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

Eh who cares about these cryptoschemes really i mean yeah I can understand that. They always were stinking of fraud

Shitcoins they were called iirc

I only love crypto because it evades facist gov. Seems more and more needed as time goes on

But then imo we are heading into cyberpunk reality

Crypto is a fascists government's wet dream - they can literally follow the chain of transactions, and bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous at best unless you as a user take extra steps to anoymize yourself.

Who cares? The people whose opinion you specifically asked about, for starters. That's why I'm mentioning it. You were asking why people are losing their patience with cryptocurrency evangelism: that's the answer. Cryptocurrencies have few "legit" (or at least legit-seeming to most people) uses, and are now mostly associated with crime, fraud, pump and dump schemes and "speculation" (gambling by any other name).
