Integration isn’t the same as substitution, it means I can pay a dev living in Indonesia in eth and they can deposit it to their bank without having to go through a third party, because it’s a hell of a lot faster, safer and easier than trying to set up an international wire transfer between banks who don’t speak the same language.
Furthermore, if cryptocurrency helps a population regain control of their finances in a failing economy, how is that a bad thing?
Didn’t say it was a bad thing. Just think it’s funny that being usable in an unstable third world economy is about the only good use case for the amazing currency of the future.
You’re right I’ll go dump all my retirement savings into whatever crypto is the next big thing tomorrow. What was I thinking, new money is so much better than old money. Cuz it’s worth more money than old money and money’s better.
P.S. it’s easy to tell where the third world starts, it’s where they use crypto instead of a central bank currency.
