        All crypto-currencies are overhyped, almost cult-like trash that do nothing but create problems and waste energy. The whole lot of them, no exceptions and they will all fade away eventually, when the fad moves on.

      Believe it or not, some people like and use cryptocurrency.

      They explain why in the blog post.

      You can hold your own keys, but that can be dangerous. Letting someone else hold them can also be dangerous.

      This allows someone else to hold them and manage them without giving them any control or even knowledge.
