    I’m on firefox with uBlock, will look into adding the others

    I still don’t see what bitcoin solves?

    Sure it’s decentralized and transparent and all those things, but how does that benefit us? And is it worth ~5% the household electricity usage per transaction?

    You say people shouldn’t keep all their money in an exchange, should they protect it themselves then? People aren’t tech literate and old people will DEFINITELY get scammed out of their crypto.

    Someone can break into your house, hold a gun to your head and make you transfer your whole life savings to them. Traditional banks protect against this, you will get your money back if someone does this.

    Can I take a mortgage in crypto?

    Again, what problems does bitcoin solve? It creates many so it better be something good
