For Bitcoin at least:

- no trust required —> credit free —> cheaper to transact
- greater access for the unbanked and protection against debanking
- well known, only changeable by consensus monetary policy is a world first. Powerful if you’ve seen the cost of groceries recently
it’s kinda wild that I’ve still yet to hear a single valuable use case for cryptocurrency beyond just buying drugs and money laundering
I hate cryptocurrency! I hate the bitcoin presidency! I hate the le epic shiba inu doge cabinet!

"We believe it’s important for Mastodon to be good as a product on its own merits, and not just because of its ideology. If we only attract people who already care about decentralization, our ability to make decentralization mainstream becomes that much harder."
