I still don't get what the purpose of crypto is? Only partially decent answer I got was it is easier to send money to someone who lives within an oppressive regime.
What does crypto do that cannot already be done with standard banking or cash or credit?
All crypto does is allow trustless immutable decentralized transactions, and that's it. It trades a lot of computational efficiency for that, and it's just not useful outside of crime.
The reason you're not getting a straight answer is because the desperate, the greedy and the conmen keep coming up with new lies to tell themselves. For example, originally it was very, very boomer. In Bitcoin's whitepaper, 'Satoshi' said that if you cut out middlemen, the pesky regulations and silly consumer protections, it would be
so much more efficient than credit cards. Problem: 'Satoshi' was not a genius. 'Satoshi' was a giant stupid manbaby who knew cryptography and nothing else. Bitcoin guzzles 1% of
global power consumption so it can choke and die at seven transactions a second maximum (less in practice). So much for replacing credit cards. So the desperate, the greedy and the conmen needed to come up with other reasons to claim it's still the new thing, hence DeFi, NFTs, Web3, Pay-To-Earn games, Enterprise Blockchain and the whole slew of other bad ideas that never worked out.
I mean, we're just shy of fifteen years with crypto, and we're
still trying to argue what it's useful for.
