Cryptocurrency definitely has some downsides and I can very much see why it’s part of “tech bro” culture. I do have to say though, sending someone some coin without having to enter my information into whatever they use, is a nice UX. A lot off OSS people have addresses now.

Honestly the fact that kleros exists says everything I need to know about cryptocurrency and tech bros. I have trouble understanding why today's money transfer technology is not sufficient for these use cases (for the kind of user who can use cryptocurrency)

I’m not on the side of defending cryptocurrency, so I’ll probably agree with all of your criticisms. Getting some coin and sending it to an address anonymously is a pretty nice UX, that is all.

I don't mean to troll. I've occasionally used cryptocurrency for stuff and in its current form it's hardly a good UX.
