yes it is, just use stables. frankly it is a much more convenient way to move money if the other person has it as well
e: and i’m no crypto obsessive really, i don’t think it was usable even 3 years ago but it’s pretty handy now, can easily send $20 in usdc on base or use it to purchase carbon offsets or use it on election/sports betting or use it to purchase deepseek r1 credits…
Too many malicious actors in crypto for it to become mainstream, sorry, not sorry
The community needs to self police and remove this problem if they ever want me to give it a third chance. There are several other fundamental issues in crypto, so not sure this will be enough on its own to reach mainstream adoption
For example, I don't want my transaction history on a public ledger, encrypted or not
"Crypto needs to self-police and remove malicious actors" and "Crypto needs to stop having a public ledger" are two contradictory actions where achieving one would make the other impossible.
In this regard, crypto currency is not really a currency that people can use for their daily lives without worry and risk from volatility
