For me: Cancelling paid subscriptions should be as easy as subscribing. I hate the fact that they actively hide the unsubscribe option or that you sometimes should have to write an e-mail if you want to unsubscribe.

    It’s because crypto isn’t actually money. It’s just something somebody might give you money for.

    In theory, you can walk to your nearest forest and collect pine cones and then sell them to people.

    That’s about the same as crypto, only pine cones are actually useful.

      Fiat currency like the US dollar is just as intrinsically worthless. It has value only because people accept that it does, they trade with it, and it has legal status as tender “for all debts, public and private”.

      People trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for goods all the time, without converting it to USD or anything first. I mean, yeah, usually the thing they’re buying is drugs or something but it’s the same as handing your local dealer a $20 bill.
