> Unless you count making money as not enough of a use case.

So then you're agreeing that the only real use case for crypto is speculation, and not something normal people should care about.

> By that standard, majority of Wall Street has no use case either, since much of the money is made entirely on speculation.

I think most educated people would agree that Wall St is a drain on society the same as targeted ads. The world is better without it. Are ads also useful because of how much money they make?

> HN will willfully ignore crypto and miss out not only on life changing money, but one of the few places in tech that is still fun and exciting and hasn’t been “corporatized”.

I really hope you're not so naïve that you don't realize crypto markets are being manipulated by big banks.
