Even though none of us like Gary for what he has done for the crypto industry. But we should be realistic and accept the fact that turning bitcoin into a currency is a difficult task and the chances of it happening are almost zero.
What he have done with cryptos? But when I searched it I only saw that he regulated it. I think this isn't totally bad and actually or in fact, it might also offer some benefits. So there are actually people that will like Gary in fact for what he have done there on cryptos. BTC is a currency but it is just that many people are only treating their BTC now like an investment asset, as they see that its value is growing very well.
Another reason on why some can get turned-off of using a BTC as a currency is due to the fact that its fees are a bit high and then the processing time for it is also slow but there are fixes who have been rolled out already for this. It can only be improved more overtime (I believe), so don't lose hope just yet mate. I know we can re-gain the other charm of BTC that once lost once again.
