I'm in the States, but way, way below the poverty line. When people get all snooty about how I'm being pie-in-the-sky (I'm not, I'm pretty practical) about crypto, I'm like: I've paid my electric bill several times; I've bought food, I've paid rent, I've bought clothes and shoes that I needed; I've bought cat supplies; I've bought cat supplies for my elderly neighbor, I've raised money for tree planting. And that's just ME, a lowly minnow only recently - I did all that as a red fish. No fiat investment, because poverty. Never powering down, that's just the liquid being often (but not always) cashed out. From blogging.
You can ignorantly blather about "magic money on my computer," but it has literally kept the lights on and kept me fed and housed, several times. That's real and effective to me. <3
