The fact that Visa/MC allows Coinbase (and others) to make bitcoin purchases as a purchase and not a cash advance weighs heavily on the "bitcoin is not a currency" debate. I wholeheartedly agree. And no, bitcoin is not dead. It's just not a currency.
- ianpurton 10y agoIt depends on your definition of currency. If you define it as a medium of exchange then for sure Bitcoin is a currency. I can buy stuff with it.
- mhluongo 10y agoYou think Visa and MC should decide what a currency is?
- passwordreset 10y agoNo, I think the buyer and seller should agree on what the being currency traded is, and how it's valued. I bid 40 quatloos for the newcomer.
