Ask Argentines, Zimbabweans, Cypriots, Greeks, Venezuelans, Turks, Lebanese and a few other billions around the world who are not privileged enough to have a stable monetary environment why they choose Bitcoin.
It has little to do with tps.
They do not have any real property rights, unable to access world's financial market, unable to save, unable to better their lives by accumulating wealth, and whatever little wealth they are able to accumulate is confiscated on the regular by the oppressive regimes.
Of course, your dishwasher is much more important than their human rights.
- user-the-name 5y agoThey don't choose bitcoin, dude. That is pure propaganda, spinning a handful of people doing it into some big movement. It's not real, it's not happening.
- inter_netuser 5y ago"not real"? Do you have any data to back this up? Penetration of crypto in Turkey was 18% (page 9) in 2018, likely a lot higher now. Expected to own in the future 45% (page 10): https://think.ing.com/uploads/reports/ING_International_Survey_Mobile_Banking_2018.pdf https://think.ing.com/uploads/reports/ING_International_Surv... One in five own it, half expect to own in the future.
