Will We Be Buying Coffee in Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency becomes volatile as other new coins are minted. It fluctuates wildly. Bitcoin, for instance, plummeted from $60,000 to $30,000. Cryptocurrencies are taxed in different ways and carry risks related to scams and hacking. Since it’s not rooted in traditional banks and insured by the Federal Government, its stability remains uncertain. But what makes crypto valuable? The answer is techno-libertarianism. Cryptocurrency is meant to be backed by its owners, empowering individuals to be the governance and appealing to them. Additionally, people believe it will lead to wealth and believe in the underlying technology.
Cryptocurrency is not as worthwhile as currency due to its limited usability for purchasing tangible goods. It's a self-fulfilling referential bubble. People only can buy Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), such as digital art or collectibles in Ethereum, a decentralized network or blockchain that binds cryptocurrencies together. Notably, powering crypto to buy one NFT takes as much energy as we need to drive a car for 500 miles.
Cryptocurrency has gained acceptance from a lot of companies like Paypal and Microsoft. And some are paying their employees in crypto. No one knows whether it will be beholden to the government or shackled by regulation. The thing is even the government is launching their own cryptocurrencies to defeat them while simultaneously writing legislation.
