"Don't use an exchange, crypto solves this!"

"Don't use paypal, cash solves this!"

Both systems have the same problem, in that people need to use intermediaries to accomplish the transactions they want to accomplish. Crypto solves nothing, it converts problems into different problems.

Crypto definitely solves lots of problems for me and for many people I know IRL
