    You seem to think about cryptocurrencies like gold as well; an investment. My question was about the future of them as a normal currency that you can use to pay with online. I personally use XMR when I can to pay services.

      My question was about the future of them as a normal currency…

      There is none, crypto has never been nor will ever be a normal currency, at best it will keep being a fringe currency with dubious reputation and stabillity.

      If XMR is anything like BTC in terms of it’s energy use per transaction then you are causing massive wastes of energy on a transaction comapred to a normal VISA transaction.
