When did you realize that cryptocurrency is the way of the future?

Question

Many people see cryptocurrency as the way of the future because it offers a decentralized, transparent, and secure alternative to traditional forms of currency and financial systems. The turning point for me was when politicians and bankers were interviewed against it.

What about you guys, did you have a turning point where you started to be bullish on cryptocurrency?

Answer 1

I have the most % of my money in BTC,I don’t trust banks anymore. I really think crypto is the future.

Answer 2

Not about a particular currency, but about blockchain in general... When an entire country (Estonia) applied technology on a national scale:  
\- For remote parliamentary elections  
\- To store and access patients' medical data  
\- For notarization  


I think everyone will come to this sooner or later. It is inevitable

Answer 3

The self-custody, privacy and anonymity of transactions that crypto gives are the pointers that make me have confidence in DeFi.

Answer 4

When I would see other corrupt countries losing all their currency value, life savings and seeing bad dictators take over I knew. To be able to put all your value into an asset, remember a seed phrase, hop on a plane and go any place in the world and bring your money back is invaluable. Fuck the crooked bankers. Digital money is the future. Also knowing that only 8% of the worlds cash is physical was a milestone. 93% of the money out in the world is just numbers changing on a computer screen. It is obvious we need a better ledger to operate this new digital monetary world.

Answer 5

I think the potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is huge, especially in terms of decentralization and transparency. My turning point was when I learned about Oasis Network's vision for privacy-enabled blockchain technology and their commitment to empowering users with greater control over their data. What about you?

Answer 6

I thought crypto was *interesting* and I owned tokens but I really got into it like *this is the way of the future* once I used defi.

Answer 7

In the beginning of 2021 when the GME fiasco was going on, I had sold some Covered Calls against my position in BB(blackberry). TDAmeritrade wouldn’t allow me to hedge my position. No alert saying the orders weren’t filled. They just disappeared after I would place them. It was then that I learned that TDA et al were blocking trading on “stocks with increased volatility” for retail, but not hedge funds. That’s when it became crystal clear to me, that retail was operating under a completely different set of rules. Discovered DeFi shortly after and realized how much I craved transparency. Never looked back.

Answer 8

I think the current bank meltdown definitely has an effect on the present hike in crypto adoption but it has always been a haven of financial freedom, not to mention that Defi takes things further and gives users full control of their assets. I already took the initiative and moved my Bnb, Egld, Ride and Crt to my Ledger where I have full custody of my assets.

Answer 9

when i saw that you can send the money from any place in the world within seconds

Answer 10

I had to send a considerable amount of money overseas and the taxes were nearly zero.
