These are my worthless opinions to be taken with a grain of salt, as I am no expert
overall one of the biggest issues with cryptocurrencies is the name. overall it shouldn't really be treated like a currency. There are a select few transactions where it will be better, like Dino said, transferring internationally will be easier. The Swift system for business is expensive and slow, hence where Ripple is trying to work on. Bitcoin I really see is a proof of concept. The system works. It will work for a long while, but whether it lasts is another thing. Is it an Apple/Microsoft or is it a Netscape/AOL. In my opinion, and it will be long ways out still but I would wager it is more on the Netscape spectrum, but it is not like Bitcoin can adapt to prolong longevity either. Already options like Etherium, Cardano, solana, Matic, Dot, etc. can offer more. But are they really solving a problem that exists or are they just trying to find a problem to solve? but these systems do need large computing power, so having random people set up computing for these chains and then paying them in tokens for access to that computing is simple and seems to work. It is basically like getting paid in shares, and eventually, these will all likely be treated with the same rules as securities
Doge, and Shibu and other things like that are just really market manipulation meme #### that just may will itself into existence just because.
blockchain technology works for many things and works behind the scenes in a lot of cases. just look what walmart is doing with it. So when a lot of people say all this cryptocurrency stuff is ####, that doesn't make sense, because blockchain technology will be in everything in the not too far future, just maybe not as currency, or maybe as a Fiat currency.
