Contrary to some peoples' understanding, replacing fiat currency for everyday purposes isn't the only viable application of crypto.

As one example: There are already banks that use XRP as the international settlement medium. You'll also see a lot of conversation right now about central bank digital currencies (CBDC) that could plausibly utilize crypto in some fashion.

Stop it with the fake juxtaposition. Crypto is just as “fiat” as any other currency, including gold.
