I really hope that crypto doesn't die completely. It's still a useful tool. It's just that we got idiots using it as an investment and people treating it like a panacea while not considering other alternatives like precious metals.

It's a tool that has certain uses. I think it's best for trading digital goods and services while physical currencies like precious metals should be for trading locally.

@xianc78 >I really hope that crypto doesn't die completely
There is no way that would ever happen unless somehow the whole internet infrastructure just collapses or is cut off. I don't see something as useful as Monero and similar things just dying, maybe Bitcoin and Ethereum eventually tho, but unlikely.

@kerosene I mean die as in so many people stop using it that it becomes unusable. It just seems like everyone lost faith in crypto because governments are trying their best to regulate it to hell and the blockchain meme is being used for shit like Digital ID so people are conflating crypto with Great Reset shit like that. This also isn't getting into NFTs which use the same blockchain technology but are a huge scam.

@kerosene @xianc78 Monero might see a great reduction in use if GNU Taler ever sees adoption by exchanges. Since that's really the main part that prevents its practical use at the moment.
