They can adopt it, or not adopt it. It makes no difference whatsoever.
- emodendroket 9y agoNotice you could only make this "summary" by skipping most of the beats in the conversation. Also, I'd say it actually matters tremendously whether Bitcoin becomes legal tender somewhere or remains a marginal element of the world economy that only a handful of true believers buy anything other than weed with.
- Frogolocalypse 9y agoI'm off to the pub to buy a beer this very second, on this rainy sunday afternoon. And I'll be using my bitcoin debit card to buy them. I can buy about twice as many as I would otherwise be able to, given the value of bitcoin increasing since the money was placed into my bitcoin account. You should try it. It works really well. And beer is delicious.
- emodendroket 9y agoWould you give it a rest with the beer stuff? If that is what makes it a real currency then a gift card to the liquor store is just as relevant. And the fact that the USD exchange rate changing immediately means you can buy more stuff makes the opposite point of the one you're trying to make.
- Frogolocalypse 9y agoBuy gift cards if you like. I'll use bitcoin. Let's compare notes in a year. Having another delicious beer right now on my bitcoin debit card. It has been a good day.
- bduerst 9y agoWhy not put a $10,000 bet into escrow right now, since you're so confident on Bitcoin being used as a currency a year from now?
- Frogolocalypse 9y agoWhere you say 'bet', I say 'adopt'. I have adopted crypto as my store of value reference. It's working out quite well.
- bduerst 9y agoWhen I say bet, I mean bet. It's a way to back what you're saying. Your using semantics to dodge further proves your repeated comments are just hot air.
- emodendroket 9y agoTalk about missing the point.
