he gave a whole dog and pony show

No, they responded to your argument that crypto uses tons of electricity, and responded that the one they use, Monero, doesn't do that. Then later responded and said they pay bills with it.

What more do you want?

There are a number of services that take crypto, such as:

  • some merch sites, like https://based.win/
  • VPN providers like Mullvad
  • donations like Tuta

Btw, all of those take Monero. If you look, you'll find more.
