Wish the graphs had a bar to represent the amount of crypto used by people to buy from known legitimate vendors for scale - how much of crypto gets hoovered by scams vs actually spent.

The first sentence needs 2022 to be changed to 2021.

Outside of bitcoin, most coins are not accepted for direct purchases. Basement miners aren't buying products directly with cryptocurrencies, they're converting to fiat and then buying things. The small fee for converting outweighs being severely limited where you can currently spend your crypto.
