The most popular crypto is one of the few that's p2p and well-tested.

"But in practice, I almost certainly vote Republican."
I have. Most people who say this IRL are very Libertarian and very not libertarian. If they like cryptocurrency, it's something new so they can feel smart.
They'd treat you the same way they treat people who throw back the gas canisters.
There isn't. The only hell they'll ever see is the one we create.
How is that definition useful? The USA and Israel both torture and have plenty of laws.
Why not both? We can automate the trains (more), the busses, and the occasional rural drive.
Because they "didn't vote for that". They voted for lesser evil, which includes bombing Yemen for a decade. The spoiler effect is obvious to fellow voters, but incomprehensively arcane to lawyers.
The cheapest way is free: volunteer to be an organ donor!
Yes.
That computing power is necessary to secure the network, without introducing security holes or economic rent. And the rate of production gets cut in half every 4 years. The alternatives you've been told about are inferior.
The Lightning Network has onion routing like Tor, and drug dealers have been using mixers for literally a decade. If there's an inflation bug in Monero (like the value overflow incident), then that will be invisible too.
We still use steam power quite a bit, and aren't replacing it simply because it's old. Most new cryptocurrencies are like a Tesla, solving problems they didn't care to understand.
If you think every cryptocurrency is peer-to-peer, then I am literally begging you to slow down and look at how they actually work before investing more. They frequently have centralized issuance, security, development, governance... you name it. It only takes one centralized part to bring down a project.
