I love crypto but dislike some of the community
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I don't understand why people see crypto as a savior for the norms. Bitcoin was not invented so the norms can be rich. It's true value is the decentralization and the utility that it brings. I love bitcoin for the fact that I can send money to my loved ones anywhere in the world without the bs of banks. But for some reason, some people want to see it as a way to be rich and a "savior" of the poor. I feel like these are the same people who will be poor forever. Just work your ass off, save, and invest wisely; name another alternative. </p> <p>I think these are also the people who will slow down the progression of crypto. All they care about is the value going up without actually thinking about the key utilitarian purpose of the coin. Bitcoin as it stands still have so many problems that we have yet to figure out and you have people who preach it is ready for mass adoption. It is not. Crappy exchanges, lack of privacy for any real day to day use, slow transactions, real dangers of losing your wallet or being phished and hacked, low volumes of transactions, etc.. I think bitcoin will have a future in this world but as it currently stands, it is just not ready.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/flyingpickkles"> /u/flyingpickkles </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ztb34l/i_love_crypto_but_dislike_some_of_the_community/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ztb34l/i_love_crypto_but_dislike_some_of_the_community/">[comments]</a></span>
