If you're "invested" in cryptogoboligook and you're not ripping someone off--guess what?--you're the mark.
Regardless, you can generally use money to buy things.
You can't buy anything with crypto because it's 15 years later, and "mass adoption" is never happening. It's "fake money".
since people treat crypto as money, it is money.
The only ones that treat it as money are in on it. Otherwise, you could go to a Best Buy and get a TV with your crypto-card.
Can you buy a tv with a silver bar?
No, because it’s not legal currency. Are you getting it now?? Valuables aren’t all accepted currency….
Your argument is DEEPLY flawed.
Kenisis is apparently backed by silver, I think that solves it all somehow
WTF is Kenisis, and can you walk into a store and buy a TV with it?
Can you walk into store and buy a TV with British Pound?
In the UK and its territories, yes.
Then you can't with dollar. But maybe can with Euro, not sure.
Are we still debating if crypto is actually a currency? Because yes, currencies can be localized. That crypto is agnostic to localities does not make it any more of a currency.
If you are trying to make another point, I may have gotten lost in the thread.
This happens. I was mostly debating Pratai's "US dollar is the only legal currency in the world" nonsense.
