Reply to comment by TurboSalsa in Coinbase to slash 20% of workforce in second major round of job cuts by ChocolateTsar
It's because crypto sucks for petty cash, and the only people who want to move large amounts of money around without the security of government regulation are criminals. Even if someone says otherwise when it's their cash in jeopardy they find their beliefs have a spending limit.

It started that way. It will end that way. I still remember when the only thing I could buy with bitcoins was weed, sex slaves, and assassins.

Actually IIRC the first public Bitcoin exchange was a pizza.
Back in the early days of Bitcoin (before it was $1) someone paid 20 BTC to someone else to order them a pizza.

It was 10,000 BTC on two pizzas. This was when btc was a fraction of a penny.
