Is crypto now more than a speculative asset or just the same old thing based on hypes only because it seems like real life use case is far from crypto, we want it to happen for real but it's really not happening, what is stopping this from happening already.
What's not real here? We make money and do you think its not a real thing?
Well, if you're talking about mass adoption we are still far from that situation but right now, many are into cryptocurrency and they are actually making a lot of money. This is not just a hype, because the price drops as well and I think this is a pure good technology where people wants a decentralized system away from the government control.
Government who are against to cryptocurrency are the ones who are delaying the adoption, but technically they can't prevent this to happen in the future, adoption of cryptocurrency is inevitable.
The meaning behind it was the fact that if the only reason why you are buying a token is "it will go up in dollar price" then you are not buying something for real life utility. Obviously making more fiat is a very much real-life utility, but it is not by nature, it is just byproduct of what you are doing. Like dogecoin is a thing people made money, and that's a real utility, because you have more money now. However, do you use doge anywhere? I mean not many places accept it.
So, the approach you have is a correct one and a good one, but that doesn't mean that it is what OP meant. They meant something like using it for a good purpose that would help your life.
