"There is no reason in the world why you would not use some other blockchains or cryptos as well".

I am a normal human being, work hard, take care of my family, own a home, own some stocks, save in bitcoin. Why in the world do I need to use some other blockchains or cryptos?

This is the crux of the problem, the feature set of ethereum and other chains is not really needed by the vast majority of people. Sure if you are a trader, speculator, technologist, or arbitrager, you might have some use case but most of the world doesn't need it.

The best argument I can see for Ethereum or other chains to have any sort of future is the movement of stablecoins. I mean, I guess being the rails for future CBDCs could be a pretty huge TAM, but I thought escaping the corrupted system not embracing the corrupted system was the ethos.

The shitcoinery is tiring. I'm tired of "bitcoin" somehow being synonymous with "crypto". I'm tired of explaining in detail the need for bitcoin to someone only for them to wrecked by shitcoin scams like etheream and blaming me for it. I have to really hold a noobies hand for their first 4 years just so they don't hurt themselves.

It really is like "here's this fair well respected money" and then as soon as that comes out "here robux ran by the roblox corporation. Its a digital asset just like Bitcoin"

So fucking annoying.

You must be new here

As I always said for all those "crypto boys" like you...

Even assuming that DeFi projects did some regulatory arbitrage while being in fact centralized entities, Bitcoin companies might learn something.

Bittr has closed long time ago as soon as AML5 appeared on the horizon. That's it.
