> still have 0 real world usage

you need to do a little bit a research, it seems...

Enlighten me then, I couldn't find anything by myself after weeding out the speculation/pump and dump/exit scam shills.

What real world problem is bitcoin solving right now and which isn't completely negligible next to the infrastructure cost of btc ?

PS: I'm not talking about the theoretical benefits the bitcoin aficionados are parroting all day long for the last 10 years and are still nowhere to be seen

Here is a BBC article on Bitcoin use in Venezuela: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47553048

Isn't it weird that Venezuela is the one example people go to over and over to demonstrate btc's ability to enable the people to resist oppressive governments? Why only here?
