Lol nobody gonna want to use an extremely volatile currency as payment processor. Rest of the world just needs to implement system similar to PIX from brazil.
one with… fuck, last i checked (a while) something like $40 transaction fees. vs 3% to $3.50 transaction fees. Can’t remember which, i’m trying to fall asleep and remembering will wake me up…
Crypto isnt a payment processor, and it has no backing as a currency except current social agreement (yes thats most money but issued currencies are backed by central authorities) and it basically exists for ponzi schemes. Its so insanely volatile that its not for every day people.
That’s not even mentioning that its sole value is to convert back into regular backed currency.

Plus: AI assisted omnipresent survailance, Police states, needless tech everywhere, no one owns anything just subscriptions…
We have that, it’s called crypto and everyone seems to hate it.
