> or try using smart contracts in crypto , for once in your projects.

If someone is willing to fund time spend on researching how to do it safely I would do it.

But I am not aware of anyone willing to fund hundreds of hours on such research. And it includes myself.

> Hating crypto , because news reporters only show you the scammers and the speculators , is blind hatred.

I do not care what 'news' reporters 'report'. I am in contact with several crypto-adjacent messages each week, all of them scammers in in mail inbox, on Telegram, in Discord.

Crypto-adjacent scam spam is over half of ads that managed to reach my on my own computer.

I consider it perfectly good reason to heavily dislike BTC and BTC-adjacent things.

> Crypto has/does much much more , than just act as a form of trading / speculation

Yes, it is also scam platform.

> Are you still gonna say people who use the dollar for daily transactions don’t exist ? That dollar is also a good idea only for scammers and speculators ?

No, because it is untrue. Unlike crypto.
