It’s a topic that is practically inescapable these days, whether online or off. But when it comes to cryptocurrency, all that virtually glimmers is not gold.Jon von Tetzchner (Vivaldi Technologies)

Als Antwort auf Jon S. von Tetzchner • • •Honestly, I still believe that crypto could be used as legitimate alternative currency that can be private and also act as a universal currency in the age of the internet.
However as you said, most crypto is no longer that. The issue is that there is no actual control on how much any crypto is worth at any given time. Even stuff like art follows the same story because of the same reasons. Instead of using it like actual currency, it's being used as an investment to make more fiat money

What what about the use case within Nostr, where people make micro-payments to each other using "zaps"?
In that case you don't have to cash out to fiat currency so it kind of makes sense...?
