Too bad the rich control it now.
If you mean through regulation, yes, partly
If you mean they hold most of it and thus have a total decision power, then I must disagree

Orphaned domains like this are interesting, there was a defcon talk, I think, where the presenter bought a bunch of blacklisted orphaned domains just to see if anything would try and connect to them. They got hit with so many botnet clients trying to phone home.
Please post a link if you're able, that sounds like a very interesting watch.

paying in crypto is nice partly for this reason
But a lot of uneducated people will spam "crypto is a scam"

Crypto is a scam.
Breaking news! Criminals (but not only) use crypto, and people get scammed. This happens as well with fiat, so that must surely mean fiat is a scam!
Flawless logic, really. You people impress me with your thinking.

if you sell something for $1 at 10am your $1 still buys $1 at 10pm.
in crypto, it's easily manipulated, and that's by design. it's a scam because the only people who have that control are the wealthy.
If I sell 1BT worth of something at 10am, it could be worth 2BT at 10pm, but it could also be worth .1BT equally.
the purpose of a Fiat currency is economic supremacy that is backed by the governing body and the economy that uses it.
tell me, what governing body or economy is crypto backed by?

And if there is. Please seed that.
I usually do, but in general they're dead for lack of demand

Crypto is not a scam, it's just plain stupid.
The entire idea behind it is what a third grader might come up with and think it's a great idea. It's not.
It literally requires every connected wallet to process the same transactions as everyone else. Can you imagine doing billions of transactions per day this way? It is extremely inefficient and yes, this is one of the reasons why even the relatively low amount of transactions that Bitcoin processes costs more electricity than a small modern country.
It's in a way comparable to a cpu doing 6+7 in a single CPU cycle whilst AI needs to burn down a forest to answer the same question
Crypto is stupid.
I get what its trying to replace and i agree that the current system sucks as well for a long list of reasons, but crypto is NOT the solution. A fundamentally different system must be designed to be able to solve the issues that crypto is trying to solve

None of that is "by design" its just the result of an unstable system. Crypto sucks for a long list of different reasons.

it is by design for a lot of them.

The instability?
You're giving it too much credit, especially the altcoins that didn't look beyond "existing". I know, I made one like 7 years ago or so and I ain't proud of it.
The instability of the worth of these crypto coins is just inherent to the instability of it, and actually not that different from currency fluctuations. You don't think the entire world works with US dollars, no?

wat?
wallets don't process any transactions other than yours. and even then, wallets do the easy work.

Don't even bother. You'll never get through to these drones.

People really need to get over this idea that using crypto to buy things makes you anonymous.
And people should also know that there are privacy coins and mixers
