I said: Bitcoin. Not crypto.

(The longer I’m in this space, the more I realize that scammy crypto is one of the biggest enemies of bitcoin adoption.)

It may seem this way to you but you’re clearly not paying enough attention. Adoption curve is up. Many advancements have been and continue to be made on the front of consumer products. Let’s face it, companies like Square will drive mainstream usage. Consumer products will only get better and better and over time will be on par with products that use the dollar under the hood.
