> Bitcoin completely destroyed that
Yes. Nakamato consensus was an important contribution that changed the world. Without question. But the world has moved on, because things more useful than Bitcoin came along and Bitcoiners no longer desired to ask what people wanted their money to do.
Tether isn’t monkey jpegs, and people are using a whole lot more of that than Bitcoin. Why do you think that is?
Monero is also not monkey jpegs. For all the markets and services that can *only* transact in crypto (e.g. criminal activity or debanked political dissidents), they are nearly exclusively using Monero. Why do you think that is?
