Love to hear how you think digital currencies aren't digital currencies.

Not all digital currencies are cryptocurrencies. CBDCs are digital implementations of government-backed fiat currencies. If you don't understand the difference I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

by your flawed metrics, solar power is "hype".

Solar power produces energy. Cryptocurrency produces nothing and wastes energy doing it.

Strange hill to die on. A quick search makes it obvious that credit cards use cryptography.

Hey dude, cryptography != cryptocurrency. Cryptography just says "yes, this person made this transaction, I am sure of it as a computer because this math checks out".

Wait, so you're telling me that every time I swipe my VISA and smugly explain to the cashier that I'm a crypto bro, I've been the fool all along? Please excuse me while I begin to question everything in my life
