For whom?
Yeah. Nobody wants to wait around for an imaginary solution from the state. Nobody really wants the state violently attacking their lives. So yeah cryptos are a much better choice for most people and institutions.
For your first question, I think the average person would benefit from a simple digital currency that let's them exchange "cash" without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. Venmo, Zelle, etc. are all proof that normal people want easy ways to pay each other.
As for your second point, I'm not sure I follow. But I assume you're implying that crypto is better because it isn't tied to the state?
