I'm not a big crypto person. But I do think that it does one thing well, it enables the transmission of value digitally. The same way I can transmit a file to you over the internet, I can now transmit a crypto coin of value.

Now, personally I don't have a lot of issues with the prevailing system, venmo and similar apps. I don't have any issues buying what I need online since credit cards work and are widely available.

I suppose crypto could be useful for industries that are legal, but banks do not like engaging with. Like adult entertainment.
