RE: Behavior and evolution of cryptocurrencies ten years after its creation / What to expect from them in the future?
Did cryptocurrencies revolutionized the financial world or only in some countries?
As soon as it became a bit more famous in the Netherlands banks, taxes jumped right into it and to be honest it does not make it attractive over here. All the so-called benefits of cryptocurrencies we do not have.

My dear @wakeupkitty, I appreciate your comment and the fact that you give me when referring to the particular experience in the Netherlands. I am from Venezuela and in our current economic situation, cryptocurrencies have become a real alternative to this strong crisis we are going through. The statistics say that in recent months Venezuela has become the country with the most transactions in BTC, being surpassed in the world only by Russia, you can see it here: https://steemit.com/blockchain/@fucho80/venezuela-crises-and-cryptocurrencies
In my particular case and I think that in the majority of Venezuelans in steemit this has become the sustenance of the family.
As for what you mention happening there, the government is also trying to put controls on cryptocurrencies, but these have become the safest way for migrants to help their relatives who stayed here.
Thanks for your valuable comment.

I understand how it works with you but it is just 1 country and I wonder how people without an income and relatives abroad can lay her hands on cryptocurrencies since I was not able to earn 1 dime here in the year I join.
You wrote: it changed the financial world worldwide if I remember it well and that is not the case.

Dear @wakeupkitty, it is possible that in your country they do not have a good experience with cryptocurrencies, but in spite of this you are here in a network based on blockchain what tells me that the system reached you.
Maybe exaggerate a little by ignoimineto cases like yours, (I'm guilty) but the fact is that this continues to advance and sooner or later affect more countries in a positive way.
Thanks once more for your comment, you are very kind.

Why didn't you up vote wakeupkitty? You need to up vote people for steem to work.
Dear @coinchaos
I think you're very wrong. People care more about decent comments (like the one @fucho80 did) and interesting engagement instead of receiving votes that will have absolutely no value.
Even if you or @fucho80 would upvote some post or comment, then your voting power is just to small to make any difference. Basically your vote would give 0$ to anyone (if reward under comment has value less than 0.03$ then this reward is being treated as a "dust" and ignored by the platform).
Yours

I think you are wrong, steem needs both. People want rewards for the value they add to the steem network. It will not work without up votes and engagement. The two are not mutually exclusive.
I did not know about this .03 dust threshold for steem. ty. But that is another negative for the network in my book.
Dear @wakeupkitty
What do you mean by that? What benefits of crypto did you lose since taxes have been introduced?
Yours
Piotr
I never had any benefits of cryptocurrencies. In the Netherlands we always had registration, fees (even high ones), transaction costs and taxes over it and the impossibility to buy anything with it (same with credit cards by the way, high costs and less ways to use it and if you consider the fact not everyone can have one in the Netherlands at all).
The 'benefits' are what people (they) say are the benefits of it.
