It's "useless"? Oh? So, it doesn't allow you to control your "money" or a form a value you can transfer to anyone at any time? Do you realize to use fiat, you need to be accepted by a financial institution, go though KYC and other nonsense ever increasing and that all this is accepted. Then, they can serve themselves on your account, and/or kick you out at any time, block or refuse certain transactions, freeze your money, etc.It is not about crypto, or any other technology for that matter, but you dont get it. Crypto as technology is useless, and people who promote it are even worse. As a technology, it is 14 years old and it got nowhere.
Everything is increasingly reported to governments and there is also a increasing trend of going toward a sort of "social credit" system. You don't do as you're told, or you just say what you shouldn't, and your money and/or ability to even have an account is taken away from you. Paypal with their $2500 "fine" if you supposedly spread "misinformation" was a good example. The different vaccine passes around the world were another good example. It was just one step away to need that kind of "pass" to have the right to have a bank account. Who tells you that's not what will happen next time? The troubles the people who donated to the Canadian truckers went through is another very real example.
Bitcoin and crypto is an answer to all this. But sure, I don't get it. I must probably be an idiot. Hopefully, you're here to educate me with nonsensical assertions like above. People who promote freedom and being able to at least be in control of their money are "even worse"!? Yeah, those promoting how to be a good sheep by labeling crypto as supposedly "useless" are probably great.
Where exactly is crypto technology supposed to "go", according to you? It is working well, adoption is increasing, dumb people are continuously bashing it, and clever people are using it. Everything is just fine. Sorry, but that statement of a "technology being 14 years old" as if it was what? a problem? is just so silly, IMHO.
