Cryptocurrencies is moving at an incredibly fast pace for a decentralized open source project. In 10years the market has been able to capture 1 trillion in fiat that is used to secure, transact and experiement with various DLT's and concepts such as PoW,PoH,PoS, among others.

Cryptocurrencies in general is so disruptive to our current way of life that it's not uncommon to see people like you be confused about whats happening. It's like explaining calculus to a dog.

With crypto today you can buy goods and services on the websites that accepts them. (My rolex dealer gave me a discount for paying with btc) This adoption has been increasing. Be it nano payments, verticon, or on the lighting network. You can have micro transactions approve on btc and confirmed within milisecounds.
You can trade if you like from crypto to crypto, stocks to stocks or just outright gambling. You can aslo use blockchain to secure informaton on chain to be verified without a middle man and having that data still be kept secured. This is just what comes to mind.

If you are crafty enough you can help manufacturing companies lower their carbon emissions costs by plugging the gas by product into your mining rig for free electricity. Win win solution for both parties.

Currently bitcoin is valued in fiat currencies, since that's the most commonly used measure of account(dollar,yen,peso) although most people haven't realized yet that if bitcoin continues (and it will) on its stock to flow ratio, it will evenutally have more value than all assets combined on the planet. More value than all the real estate, metals, corporations, and transactions - in aggregate total.

By then it's likely that not having bitcoin would be the same as not having a checking or savings account. How would you get paid? How do you buy food? CBDC's pose a threat to bank ceo's not central bankers so ironically they have more to gain from this "bitcoin world"

All the shitcoins do serve a purpose. Because we can experiment. You can see what works and what doesn't work. It helps future generations (talking centuries) irregardless of how stupid the concept is they have a base to go off off. Game psychology, the numbers in the anayltics and on-chain analysis among the countless other usefull data.

You're arguments about crypto would be the same arguments nobel prize winning authors made about the internet in the late 70s.
>why would anyone want to send an email of a cat?

Right now we are where the internet is at in the 1990s. In 4 years crypto will be where the internet is at in 2005.

You have been warned.
