RE: Why Everything You Know About Investing In Crypto Is Wrong

in #crypto7 years ago

But why would the chance to buy stuff at Amazon using cryptos be good for the crypto market?
I mean, why should an average guy first exchance fiat with crypto... just to buy something? Wouldn't it be much easier to just buy using fiat directly?
Those new ways to spend you crypto will likely only be used by people already in the cryptosphere. But for rising prices, you need new money in the market.
There has to be something that makes Mr. Joe Average wanting to buy cryptos, as he is able to use them for something, that fiat can't do. In the moment, I don't see much like that, but maybe i'm wrong here.
And the illegal uses (buying drugs, laundering money etc.), that are one motor of the crypto markets won't exist forever.

Sort:  

The main problem with Fiat currency is that you need to use your Master card or visa card, meaning a lot of fees and long transaction time. With crypto, these issues dosent exist as you don't need to involve your bank in it. Not to mention that if you are from europe and you buy on japanese site, in addition to you the credit card fees you have to pya the money exchange. This is also solved with crypto as you can pay with the coin accepted by the seller (BTC for instance). Another very important thing, with blockchain technology you can track all transactions that happened on a coin and in some cases history is really important. Anyways, this is what I believe.
