There's a lot of interesting ideas around cryptocurrency but they all kind of have the problem that they're associated with cryptocurrency, which is now strongly associated with absurdly high transaction fees, get-rich-quick scams, and wasting colossal amounts of energy for a pathetically-low transaction throughput.

Good luck convincing J. Random User that your cryptocurrency is none of these things.
