      Cryptocurrency can’t handle this amount of transaction. Also, it’s so much power hungry. We need something lightweight and powerful.

        It sounds like you’re conflating Bitcoin with cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is power hungry. Not all crypto is proof-of-work, and actually, most aren’t. Not all crypto has insane transaction fees, that’s mostly a Bitcoin thing. These are massive issues with Bitcoin which is why I’m surprised anyone still values Bitcoin at all.

          As long as bitcoin’s price dictates the rest of other coins’ prices, it won’t matter that there are “better” coins. Whenever bitcoin has a surge or a big drop, every other coin follows.

            I heard monero is the one that’s used to purchasing instead of trading. Like for VPN’s and such.

          because cryptocurrency has been used as a method of laundering money to fascist groups for over a decade.

              you’re supporting something that Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Donald Trump want to make the new currency?

              last time I checked any time any one of those pieces of shit supported something it was bad for anyone that wasn’t “on the team” if you catch my drift.

              just wanted to make sure I knew who I was conversing with here…
