Your rant is not contrarian for Western imperialists who don't want another financial system competing with their current hegemony.

That's why crypto is hated by Westerners while most others have neutral to positive opinions of it generally.

And the transaction fees argument and time needed for confirmation doesn't even make sense? Wikipedia doesn't need to pay any fees to accept crypto and it's not like they're a business which needs the money a second after the transaction. Even if they did need it that quickly, there are plenty of choices in crypto that settle much faster than Bitcoin, which they used.
