Every bad thing has positive aspects just as every good thing also has negative ones.

For now I'm against cryptocurrencies because every plus I've seen is outweighed by the con (pun intended).

And this is actually the second time in a cryptocurrency topic that I ask this and nobody answers.

Let's say I'm in Extremistan or Extremistia. How do I use cryptocurrency? Is it just a store of value? Can I use it for payments?

I want a guide, I'm new to this. How do I use it?

You'd need to find people/businesses who are willing to accept crypto in exchange for goods or services, and if that is not an option, you'd need to exchange crypto for local (or another accepted) currency.

If your government tries to stop you from doing that, it is of course much harder, but not impossible, since decentralized exchanges such as Bisq would be an option, as well as LocalMonero or regular old black markets, assuming that you have coins that someone is willing to pay for.
