Is anyone disillusioned by cryptocurrency's evolution from its original purpose?

I valued Bitcoin's early vision as an actual currency, not a mere investment tool. Its shift away from genuine transactional use, unlike privacy-centric alternatives, is disappointing. Anyone else feel this way?

hey, i got a bit curious about this too. i kinda think that while it’s true that the original idea of a day-to-day money is kinda lost in the hype and speculations, there might still be something interesting brewing in other cryptos that keep that transactional spirit alive in a way. so what do you think about coins that try to bring in more privacy features or reusable, everyday transactions? maybe this evolution is just another way for the ecosystem to experiment with new uses. has anyone seen combinations of both investment appeal and genuine transactional utility? would love to hear more thoughts on this!

i get your point, but i reckon its evolution isnt alway bad. cryptos are adapting, and maybe everyday use will get a fresh start in due time. though, it sure feels like the original spark is fading away a bit.

I have found that the original ideal of crypto as an everyday currency has largely been sidelined by the market dynamics that favor investment and speculation. My experience indicates that while some projects attempt to revive the transactional element, the focus has shifted towards profit generation rather than fostering a truly decentralized economic system. It is disheartening to witness a medium with so much potential become driven by financial incentives rather than serving as a practical tool for daily commerce.

hey everyone, i still miss that old school vibe of crypto ya know? back then it felt like we were working towards a truly decentralised and everyday currency without all the investment hype. i been wonderin tho if there might be a way to mingle the original idea with current trends - like maybe some projects that can serve both as a tradable asset and a real medium for daily exchanges. has anyone come acros any crypto that feels like it’s tryin to bridge that gap? i feel like there are so many possibilities if we experiment a bit more. what do you all think could be the right mix to revive that original dream?

ya, i feel tge original vibe is lost in all the hype. maybe crypto might innovate back some cash like fnctinality if new ideas pop up. still kinda hopeful, even if its a messy evolution.
