I use blockchain currency (Monero) for just one thing: buying recreational drugs. It's better than cash; hanging out on street corners in the dark with shifty street-dealers, while carrying a pocketful of cash, is a risky activity.

I don't invest. I bought some Bitcoin as a try-out way back when it launched; just a few dollars-worth. They'd be worth a fortune now. But even then, transaction speeds were very slow. I've never been much into investing, and I don't have a taste for risky, volatile assets.
