    And people wonder why I don’t trust digital currency. It’s all bubbles, they’ll pop eventually.

      You can use that same argument against any currency. But you’re mistaking digital currency as being different than physical currency. A $ is a $, digital or physical they are both the same value.

        And you can teach a 5 year old how to count and exchange physical currency, but you gotta read half an encyclopedia of crap to even halfway wrap your mind around cryptocurrency.

        Every article I read about crypto just gets longer and longer and more convoluted. How would I even go about simply purchasing a candybar at the store with cryptocurrency?

        Is there an ELI5 version of a crypto tutorial that might actually explain how to even spend the stuff at the store?
