The internet has far more beneficial uses than malicious uses. We currently can't say the same with cryptocurrency due to its diminishing utility.

E-commerce platforms were never the target anyway

What's the use of money if not for paying stuff? In the early days, a lot more shops (online and offline) accept crypto payments. These days it's mostly vpn companies that accept them.

Let's not forget that crypto also enable wide deployment of ransomwares (which was not possible due to the lack of untraceable online payment at scale), while less and less ecommerce platform allow crypto payment. If this trend continues, eventually no one would use crypto except for speculation and paying off ransom.

The people with appropriate skills must have the tv (it's not cheap) and actually interested in jailbreaking them. So far noone has done so.

Whelp, it's not great. Ideally, you'll need at least NAT type B to be able to play online without issues.

You may improve the score by assigning a static ip address to your nintendo switch in your router settings, then add it to the router's DMZ. But this is assuming the source of the problem is the router's firewall. If the source of the issue is your ISP using CGNAT, then not much you can do beyond changing ISP or talk to your ISP to see if they have any online gaming-friendly internet plans.

Have you done the internet test from your Nintendo switch? https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22462/~/how-to-use-the-internet-connection-test

The most important result is the NAT type. What's the score?

Supposedly they found a new method (Q*) that significantly improved their models, enough to make some key people revolt to force the company to not monetize it out of ethical concern. Those people have been pushed out ofc.

Heck, Japanese manufacturers even sell $15K EVs in Japan (e.g. Nissan Sakura) but they don't seem to be interested in selling them elsewhere.
