> Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented (unless you're a criminal or an influencer who makes ungodly amounts of money off of suckers)

This is an incredibly uneducated take on multiple levels. If you're talking about Bitcoin specifically, even though you said "blockchain", I can understand this as a political talking about 8 years ago. But you're still banging this drum despite the current state of affairs? Why not have the courage to say you're politically against it or bitter or whatever your true underlying issue is?

How is the current state of affairs different from 8 years ago? I don't want to argue, just a genuine question, because I don't follow much what's happening in the blockchain universum.

I often pay for freelance work using crypto because it's much easier than dealing with banking infra to send payments to dozen of different countries. Sure you lose safety bank provides, but so you do when using cash.

I am in the camp that thinks that Blockchain is utterly useless for most people. Perhaps you can tell us about some very compelling use cases that have taken off.
