That's just because you haven't heard of monero !monero@monero.town
I disagree, Monero has real world usecases
Monero was created in 2014 specifically because of all the problems you mentioned upon crypto. Monero specifically stops those scams through stuff like stopping asics to prevent individuals to get hold of the majority of the blockchain.
I actually didn't like crypto because most implementations were stupid but MonerO The Monero faq explains why Monero doesn't have a lot of the scammy parts of cryptowas the first coin I discovered that I actually like
Cryptobros actually seem to hate Monero
The real-world usecase is to make very few people very rich IRL. Just like any other crypto scam.
Tell me you know nothing about Monero without telling me you know nothing about Monero
That's right, luckily I don't.
