What's your take on people who says cryptocurrencies have no practical usage?

[Gideon99]

It surprises me that some people still do not see the practical uses of cryptocurrencies. While there are cryptocurrencies without real-world utility, many cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based services enable practical, everyday usage. For example, online payment platforms like Ivendpay support multiple cryptocurrencies, giving users more options for making purchases. This provides flexibility and convenience - customers can pay with their preferred currency. By accepting various digital tokens, merchants also open their products and services to a wider customer base. So in many ways, cryptocurrencies already have practical applications for payments, purchases, and real-world financial transactions. The growing adoption of services like Ivendpay demonstrates the real-world usefulness of cryptocurrencies beyond speculation.

It's not everybody that's aware of the crypto world so you don't have to blame them for that, speaking of the pratical usage how can you understand something when you don't have it or use it so it will look less important and of no value to you, people who have the opportunity to get this ideals are from rich home those who have the privilege and are exposed to things .

We can not expect all people to have the same mindset and conviction most especially with something relatively new like cryptocurrency which unlike fiat money can not be seen, touched and feel. To many people, cryptocurrency is just an idea floating on the air with no solid background behind it and whose value can be questionable. I am sure it can be taking decades before we can see majority of the people really adopting cryptocurrency for their everyday lives and not just an investment vehicle like what Bitcoin is now. And yes, you could not blame people as they are not educated of cryptocurrency plus most likely they heard of their government and even banks giving off warning for people not to get involved with cryptocurrency as this can be possibly scam and fraud - undeniably this is a big black eye in our industry as greedy people are now congregating in this industry to victimize people not to mention the big hacks in big crypto platforms by other countries like North Korea. In conclusion, cryptocurrency is open to all regardless of race, age, sex, economic standing but may not be for all people.

Ignoring those kinds of people, don't waste your time with that kind of person either, because you also have no obligation to explain crypto to other people. Besides, we know more about it than they do. In short, we're the ones who saw it; we're the ones who discovered it, not them; we're the ones who will benefit, and neither are they. It's that simple.

Just work on the interest you have here in cryptocurrency, as long as you just pursue what you see as good in this field of the crypto space, honestly, dude.

All i can say is they're either naive or ignorant. Although if they read intentional news sometimes, they should have encounter news about practical cryptocurrnecy usage. For example,

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/greece-debt-crisis-live-greeks-turn-to-bitcoin-as-cashflow-restricted-10363593.html

And since you're talking about online payment, it's worth to mention cryptocurrency is good alternative for people who don't have access to international payment.

Yes, when a person is not interested in cryptocurrencies and the crypto industry in general, it is difficult to explain and prove something to him. Many people have conservative views on many things. As a rule, they are not interested in new things. But now you can buy a huge number of goods with cryptocurrencies, even taxes are paid with cryptocurrencies.

I will answer your question. To begin with, I have been in the cryptocurrency world since 2013, i.e. I know, I participate, I understand what it’s about.

But the most interesting thing is that I, for example, am partially of the opinion that for practical use (as a fiat currency for daily use), the situation and prospects for cryptocurrencies are not very positive.
Yes, I agree that solutions based on blockchain technologies can be used where banking services are poorly developed, unsafe, expensive, and slow. But in this case, using classic cryptocurrencies is also not a very good option. A simple question - you went to the store and bought groceries for, say, $10. Are you willing to pay $10 for products and $30 in network commission? Therefore, here we need to talk about tailored solutions, with a simple method of use, low commissions, high speed

For me, cryptocurrency is an investment asset that can provide additional income.
