Crypto continues to remain a store of value for hopes and dreams

Gold has more tangible value than something like cryptocurrency ever will. The only advantage cryptocurrency has over cash and gold is that you’re less likely to get mugged going out the door and you can always restore your wallet elsewhere if someone does take your hardware wallet. Crypto could help grease fiat exchanges for international travelers via crypto atms but I don’t see any other use elsewhere than a “check” against government, like gold. Until you can spend crypto at reasonable transaction rates just like you can a Visa, the experience will be like wiping your ass with dog shit memes.
