Bitcoin has been around for ~14 some odd years now. No one would ask this in good faith at this point.

If you are too dumb to understand it, probably best to stay away.

If you feel threatened by it, tough shit.

I’ll stick with Cryptocurrency is useless for the typical US Citizen or non crypto investment firm based company.

Bot post earlier got me to look up the “Cyprus Forex License” thing.
Per my extremely brief reading to get it you need to:
Pay 2,000 to 51,000 Euros
Wait 2 weeks to 8 months (I assume the upfront cost determines the wait)
I’m not sure of this part, I think you have to take a few hours of classes.

Yup sounds totally legit and worth my trust to find a Cyprus Forex License holding Broker to handle my crypto transactions. No real State licensure, no internship or standard school time required other than possibly paying the company that made the standard for class time. Seemingly no financial disclosures or insurance requirement needed to become certified.
What could possibly go wrong?

As long as enough users/miners/speculants/criminals believe it to be worth something it is.

When they are not disrupting the GPU market or wasting a lot of energy, I really don't mind anymore.

I have asked in this thread and the other I still don’t know. Maybe you’ll be the guy.
What is the benefit to me in using crypto for a transaction? What does it do that cash/credit or other established payment means doesn’t do?

Still waiting.
As a consumer what reason do I have to use a cryptocurrency? What is in it for me?

If it cannot be answered please point out where in this thread I can find that info. I fail to see it answered. You seemed to cite that it is clearly within this thread.

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT owners sue Sotheby's, celebs, and parent company as prices plummet

I'm struggling to shed tears for a bunch of Justin Biebers who thought ape jpegs were worth $millions.

They're basically suing because nobody else out there is dumb enough to buy that stuff, so they're stuck with it.

Next up: lets sue the local casino, yo!
