It's a pyramid scheme.

There's no referral system at all in Bitcoin. That doesn't even make sense.

You can answer this with a google search. They deemed it completely impractical because of volatility, long transaction times, and high transaction costs.

If transaction costs weren't so bad they could probably beat whatever Visa and Mastercard are charging.

The transaction fees only really spiked after they started hitting full blocks in 2017, which is when Steam dropped them IIRC. You used to be able to do transactions for less than a penny.

Why is this even a thing? You are literally pushing some bits and bytes around, not sending a fucking truck loaded with cash (that would probably be cheaper still).
I don't pay some fee to my bank when using giro pay.

It's paid on the merchant-side of sales, that's why you don't see a special additional fee if you use Visa or Mastercard either (unless the merchant specifically includes it in your bill as an itemized charge). Unironically, how do you think these things work?

your meme currencies aren´t real money and can´t put food on the table.

So people verbally telling people about something makes it a pyramid scheme?
