It is annoying semi annoying maybe but like I use it to do black market things, anarchy stuff, getting medicine where gov provides shit. It is such a crutch

But you dare to mention it on mainstream media and you will get lynched or banned for whatever reason nowadays.

Kinda irks me because it helps with my disability so much to get stuff I need, medicine. I couldn't function without it

Just ranting I guess, I do too much of rants admittedly

Edit: So I see all the scams created bias about this tech which is unfortunate. But looking aside this tech is pretty rad though maybe too much resource intensive depending on implementation

Re: your edit

Scams are a visible problem, but even if they don't scam outright, it ends up becoming a pyramid scheme by default. Late game you have people trying to convince people to use x coin because they'll get rich, when they're just trying to boost the coin in their own wallet.

Digital, hard to track cash has it's place.

As far as the tech, yeah it's cool AF, we keep trying to find ways engaging enough to make people run the ledgers but nothing but get rich quick schemes seems to have enough drive.
