Do cryptocurrencies 'bring anything useful for society'?
In the realm of finance and technology, cryptocurrencies have sparked a wave of debate and speculation. As a professional practitioner in this field, I must ask: Do cryptocurrencies truly "bring anything useful for society?" On the surface, they offer a decentralized, borderless form of digital currency, but what are the tangible benefits? Do they provide a more secure, efficient means of payment? Do they foster financial inclusion for the unbanked? Or are they merely a speculative bubble, devoid of real-world value? The question remains: What is the true societal impact of cryptocurrencies?
