@sun I think the problem was/is that the early cryptocurrencies, like BTC, made for very poor actual cryptocurrencies when it came to exchanging. And, once there were very useful and efficient alternatives, the whole cryptocurrency ship had already sailed and the market was full of useless shit-coins + the entire thing had left a sour taste in people's mouths.
@sun The single biggest and best benefit of cryptocurrency for me (other than the technical aspects) is the ability to completely circumvent payment processors. It's not even that "fiat currency" (these are all fiat currency, the concept of a fiat currency is kinda a spook to me, ultimately) are an issue so much that it's full of controlling, meddling middle-men that all want a share and can arbitrarily cut off your ability to buy/sell goods if you get on their bad side. @arcana
