I'm really excited about the potential cryptocurrencies offer as an international medium of exchange, as smart decentralised currency, but everyone seems to only view it as something to "invest" in.
I have family members who barely even know how to operate their smartphones "investing" in Bitcoin, but even a casual conversation with them reveals that they have no idea what it really is. They don't even know that it can be used to actually buy things, and they don't know about it's other applications, like smart contracts.
And it's such a shitty 'investment' instrument too! This is all madness.
How can we change this? How can we get people to stop hoarding it and start actually USING it?
