Wow. What? This may be the worst false dichotomy I've ever seen.

  How so? Seems correct to me. Just this morning I had the choice of paying for groceries either with Bitcoin or by launching a violent invasion of the store.

    But did neither due to the high transaction costs?

    I stand corrected.

    /u/nindalf this honestly made me laugh out loud and spill my drink. The next time I am trying to explain the concept of a false dichotomy, I am absolutely using this example. XD

    You forget about the violent invasions that allowed the USD to maintain its value while you were paying for groceries lol
    • lostgame 6y ago
      Quite to the contrary, it was obviously part of their point. :P Poster is definitely not endorsing violent invasions.

      Can you name some that wouldn't have happened if the world ran on Bitcoin?

    I'm enjoying the idea that launching a violent invasion of the store still counts as "paying" in this scenario.
