> lack of ability to use cryptocurrency You can transact at any store that accepts credit cards with a crypto credit card. There are countless uses for blockchains now from DeFi, gaming, social networks, NFTs, entertainment streaming, DAO’s and decentralized governance, and on and on the list goes. I recommend you catch up to 2022 crypto if you don’t already know that. |

On the others: the crux of my argument was adoption and usage, with the implication that cryptocurrency was better for the usecase than traditional methods. Of course you can shoehorn a blockchain or “the chain” into any usecase, just like I can use C to write a frontend service, but it doesn’t make sense because C isn’t the best or even a good tool for the job. I can buy bananas and put them on the blockchain, doesn’t mean there is any reason to do so aside from pumping up any cryptocurrency holdings I might have, perhaps BananaCoin or BananaICO or Gorilla NFTs, which I just invented right now.
In the end your pithy comments aren’t going to convince me to start shoehorning blockchain into my day to day transactions — as much as I might long for a decentralized currency — and my fact-based analyses aren’t going to convince someone who has a financial or psychological interest in bitcoins or cryptocurrency or NFTs to abandon them. I suggest we just agree to disagree.
