Fiat systems have such infernal UX, bitcoin can win on that metric alone. The FUD spread by the regulator is the only reason we're here.

By infernal you mean they comply with AML regulations like KYC?

Not following the law is not a "metric" legitimate businesses usually brag about.

Anybody who use FUD as an argument for something is pushing some kind of snake oil. FUD stands for "Fear, uncertainty, doubt." Why does FUD exist? Because historically when we did dumb things there were consequences. Is fearing consequences an irrational thing?
