BAT is trash but I’d love to see more quick crypto donation options.
Problem is the first thing I think of anytime I see a new crypto is that it’s probably some sort of scam and completely blow it off.
That’s not a problem. That’s the correct reaction.
I mean it is a problem in the sense that any legitimate crypto is immediately written off.
That would have been true if legit crypto existed.
It does.
Ahhh yes. Some of them are just made up things that people say is totally money, while the others are actually just made up things that people say is totally money. Huge difference, I’m sure.
I’m not trying to to die on the sword of bat, but for end users being able to just easily transfer or donate without having to know crypto…
Convenience and security is a balance.
Everything that is convenient is not secure.
Everything that is secure is not convenient.
Crypto that is “easy” screams “these people will lose all their money because it isn’t secure.”
But my credit union is both more convenient and more secure than crypto.
Oh agreed, wholeheartedly. I really just meant that if you’re going to push crypto to consumers, giving them nonsecure options is pretty bad.
