Sure. But one thing cryptocurrency is terrible at is requiring that you do your own op-sec. Maybe you're good at that sort of thing, but because of the inherent lack of controls to reverse transactions made by mistake or accidental fat-fingering other details, such as the address, it's pretty bad for the less tech-savvy.

Did you ever bother to check that "single link from a donation page" to make sure it's really the correct one?

I love being able to call a bank if my VISA card gets stolen and charged up to high heaven and get that all reversed.

Meanwhile, good luck with that NFT that mysteriously landed in your wallet that has bad coding in it to wreck your day. But yes, mass adoption imminent!
