Okay, so maybe Bitcoin isn't the future, but it provides a valuable "foot in the door" transition into a potentially crypto dominated future. Decentralization, the backbone of crypto, has proven to be so much more secure than Mastercard or any other centralized data center. Of course, anarchy means no authority is there to protect you. I expect a "Carbon coin" or a Metal coin that reimburses people based on how much they recycle to be a thing at some point, especially as 3D printers become more possible and as carbon becomes the main ingredient of everything, from computers to shopping bags. For a lot of people, crypto isn't a silly little game. For them, it means freedom.
