I've been getting people into crypto since 2011 - before most people here had heard of it.

But I've never found a way to use crypto privately and decentralized. Everything involves a smart device, bank account, government, or corporation. I've tried to do without, and asked thousands of other crypto users if they know a way to use crypto privately, to no avail.

So even if I hadn't lost all my crypto holdings in the ever-shrinking steem/hive black value hole, I'd have no way to use them, since I refuse to use any digital currency that isn't private and decentralized.

Crypto is still video-game-gold for me.
