Because if it worked better then we’d be doing it already. But no amount of cryptobro podcasts are going to fix the shortcomings of digital currencies. And everyone knows this.

My dollar will be worth a dollar tomorrow and will sit in my wallet. My crypto currency is worthless on most of the planet. Do you take payments in LoL skins or vbucks?

Then why are there so many places you can exchange a Bitcoin for thousands of dollars?

Many places? Lets see, chase bank has 5k locations in the US. I have 3 locations near me, and if I wanted to use something like on online bank like Betterment, I can go 30-40 locations immediately near me and they will cover the transaction fees...

The closest bitcoin ATM is 20 miles away from me in another town at a sketchy gas station. Let me just hop over and grab 3k out of it and get robbed.
