I explicitly said[0]:

"I'm not aware of any current practical use case for cryptocurrency, that government-backed currencies don't provide"

"that government-backed currencies don't provide." That's the important part which you ignored.

Sending money using established, government-backed currencies/ecosystems that you're not trying to hide from the government (for legal stuff, generally) is currently (note the adverb here) more secure and less risky than using cryptocurrencies to do so.

Is it poor reading comprehension your part, did you just not like what I said and so ignored it, or are you unable to process information if it contradicts your trained-in prejudices?

Edit: Fixed prose to say what I wanted to say, not the opposite.
