The blockchain is a public database that's leaked by definition.

Maybe they shouldn't spend their time evangelizing and shilling cryptocurrencies online just because their own financial security depends on tricking as many new suckers as possible into investing all of their money into the same get-rich-quick pyramid schemes they put their own money into, so they can pump and dump and pull the rug on them the way somebody else did to them.

It’s not a database, it’s just a ledger, and it doesn’t identify people unless you use it incorrectly.

Your unhinged attacks are factually inaccurate, and contribute nothing to the discussion at hand (that is, about payment systems for individual use, which are usually denominated in fiat currencies, which usually get paid in stablecoins) besides anger and hostility. I’ve been using cryptocurrencies as an end user for more than a dozen years and have never done any of these things you list.

Perhaps you paint with too wide a brush.

You suggest that the problems cryptocurrency solve were already solved long ago, but I don’t see it. How do I send money cheaply, instantly, permissionlessly, and irreversibly across borders without identity? I only know of one way.
