Could you elaborate on whether
cryptocurrency can be considered a legitimate payment method? There's been a significant rise in its popularity and usage in recent years, but there's still a lot of debate surrounding its status as a payment system. Some argue that it offers a fast, secure, and decentralized way to transact, while others question its volatility and regulatory framework. Could you provide some insights into its viability as a payment method, considering factors like scalability, adoption rates, and legal frameworks?
