Yes, I agree there is a stigma around bitcoin because of the amount of scams and ransomware that is around them but I don't want to delegitimize decentralized currency.

Currently the options are really bad because of the amount of resources they consume and their use as an investment option. I really wish there could be an option to have money outside of government control.

I agree decentralized currency is great.

All I need is some quarters and I can start my laundry without waiting half an hour for the centralized blockchain ledger's global state to acknowledge the transaction.

That's true, cash can be a more private alternative to electronic transactions but I also want an electronic counterpart, something with private and public keys. I am not knowledgeable enough on currencies and transactions to know how the system would work
