Gotta love how genai's main use is scamming people. Revolutionary tech just like crypto, which totally superseded banking and isn't running on a pyramid of grifts.
For ilicit dealings crypto absolutely superseeded previous payment methods. Not to mention the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Venezuela due to runaway inflation of the national currency.
Yes, crypto scams exists. But cryptocurrency is the closest we have to a decentralized currency that can be transfered around the world without anyone being able to dictate who you can send money to.
