The only prime factor that 240 has which 10 doesn't is 3, so using 240 only really helps for multiples of 3

donating online

Yeah i suppose any form of payment that you have to keep secret for some reason is a reason to use crypto, though I struggle to imagine needing that if you're not doing something dodgy

avoiding scams for p2p transactions

Wat. Crypto is not good at solving that, it's in fact much much worse than traditional payment methods. There's a reason scammers always want to be paid in crypto

boycotting the banking system

What specifically are you boycotting? The money that backs your crypto (i.e. that you bought it with) still sits in a bank account somewhere and continues to support the banks. All you're boycotting then are payments, but those are usually free for consumers (many banks lose money on them) so you're not exactly "sticking it to the man" by not using them. Evem if you were somehow hurting banks by using crypto, if you think the people that benefit from you using crypto (crypto exchange owners and billionaires that own crypto etc.) are less evil than goverment regulated banks, you're deluded.

What about avoiding international payment fees?

You'll spend more money using crypto for that, not less

You in the wrong job then

Yes, doing illegal things secretly is a valid use case for crypto. So far, it's also the only one

Why is it even a goal to stop kids saying these words

I have zero sympathy for people who don't use an ad blocker

Thanks, you said what I wanted to say but better. Let's not forget that CDU have been in power for the majority of the time for decades, and Germany is far left of the USA despite Democrats being in power for roughly half that same time. So the proof is in the pudding, so to speak
