No offense taken. I know I am currently in the (significant) minority.
But it's been six years, now, since using crypto has been a genuine net benefit for me, and this is completely outside of any kind of monetary speculation. That's not nothing. Is it a useful comparison, one guy that works in tech vs. the world's financial systems?
If using crypto helps me, it can help other people, too. That's enough for a real start, all on its own.
