"Cryptocurrency is everywhere except the cash register." washingtonpost.com/business/2022/… "Few people are using it for its intended purpose: to pay for things." That's because it's not a currency! It's not a valid exchange system, and no state guarantees its value.
You know where else you don't see cryptocurrencies? Porn. Porn jumps on absolutely every technology that helps it "get around" the limitations of payment processors and censors. Porn pushes technology forward.
JPEG was invented specifically to make transmitting porn lighter and more vibrant than GIFs. MMORPGs run on a protocol originally invented to let people hot-chat each other. Consumer financial transaction protection protocols were developed by the first wave of adult websites.
If cryptocurrency helped people get off, porn would be all over that. But because people in the porn industries rely on their engineers, they also listen to those engineers. At overwhelmingly, at the engineering level, the response: It's not worth it. It will all end badly.
