So I am not really into cryptocurrency and only have some basic knowledge. As far as I understand the idea between crypto (or especially bitcoin) was a decentralized payment system. Everything I heard about crypto the last few years was only about trading and value going up and down blabla. How is it going so far for using it as a payment method? Are there countries, systems, spaces in the internet or anything that actually use crypto for paying? Whar are some good examples? Do you yourself use some of these?
And are there maybe even PayPal-like Apps which you can use for paying in crypto to others?
Crypto is, and always has been a way for money laundering to happen. Right now, its almost exclusively used bt speculators, corruption and Libertarian perverts.
I cant remember which Latin american country attempted to switch to it, but basically it just facilitated massive corruption. Same with the trump regime.
Its fucking stupid and only serves to enable corruption. Also, Jefferson Epstein was a crypto pervert
El Salvador made BTC legal tender in 2021, and backtracked in 2025.
THAT is the one,ya. It basically just allowed mass corruption.
I still wonder wtf that was about. '21-'25 an era when the world was governed by whatever tech bros on twitter were spouting off about on a given week.
It is also used to buy recreational drugs and life saving drugs (like HRT) on the internet in places where those things are difficult to get.
Yessss true but enough commerce happens in usd I think.
And I can use USD to pay for an assassin.
