I remember videos of interviews with people on the street in the 90’s: “do you have a mobile phone?”, “noooo! Why would I ever need that? I don’t want to be available all the time”.

Same story with email.

Those are practical and useful though. A better comparison would be like email 2.0 that you have to convert your normal emails to and hope you don’t lose some of the content in the process.

They didn’t seem practical and useful to those people back then as well.

The comparison is perfect, you just have to be open-minded. You sound like someone back then not interested in a mobile phone or email.

We’ll check in with you in a few years 😅

I’ve known about crypto for a while. Most people, like me, view it as a potential speculative investment. It simply isn’t practical to use in real life because nobody accepts it, so it serves no other purpose.

From an investment perspective, it’s extremely risky because there’s no real indicators or information to use to determine it’s price trajectory.
