     @mangeurdenuage @sun Fiat prods people into using it by making it so you don't eat or have shelter if you don't. Crypto has no real use cases. They've resorted to trying to sell themselves as a substitute for ACH rather than a new way to purchase goods and services. Problem is, ACH works just fine, so it's redundant.
     
     I was hoping to use it for online purchases far more and made a point to use it when it was offered for a while, but crypto-friendly storefronts are few and far between, even with its value tending to outpace the dollar. It sucks.

     Isn't that the current issue with fiat money ?

     @sun A monetary system that rewards hoarding and punishes use is kind of screwed by design unless you have a way to prod people into using it

     They'll care when they will get direct damage from it.

     @sun @mangeurdenuage And the moment it gets too good at it, Congress gets out the hammers and scalpels. It sucks.
