> the people who depend on it for everyday survival

Oh, my, all those poor people that died prior to 2009.





Reducing real human struggles to a punchline is exactly the kind of cynical detachment you can afford only if you have never lived through a failed banking system. If you had lived through what people in some countries deal with, you would not be making snarky comments

The reality is that crypto became a lifeline in places where the traditional financial system collapsed or simply abandoned people: Venezuela, Argentina, Lebanon, Nigeria are good examples of people dealing with real crises, using whatever tools actually work, including crypto currencies.


Are you disputing that people in impoverished or mismanaged countries die of hunger or preventable diseases when they can't buy food or medicine?
