Jack is what we lovingly refer to as a Bitcoin maximalist. They are unmoved by innovations that happen outside of the Bitcoin project and tend to call everything that isn't Bitcoin centralized garbage.

There you go. Ethereum maximalists will do anything to pump their investments up by screeching 'web3', 'NFTs' and 'DAOs' and Bitcoin maximalists will also do the same thing. Well I ask both of these maxis, can I use either of them to pay for my groceries quickly, efficiently and cheaply without overpaying for the fees and using a complicated contraptions? If it still doesn't make sense to buy popcorn with bitcoin [0] then what hope is there to be better than Apple / Google Pay and everything else with payments?

  Arguing that Ethereum is a currency is just a straw man and you know it.

    Have you just admitted that my comment has upset you, knowing that it is true so that you jumped hastefully into the comments section to type in some nonsense without fully reading the article? So AMC is not accepting Ethereum to pay for popcorn then? Well done for inventing and distorting claims to cover that you still haven't finished reading the article [0] [0] https://ambcrypto.com/is-it-really-ideal-to-buy-popcorn-with-bitcoin-today https://ambcrypto.com/is-it-really-ideal-to-buy-popcorn-with...

      The article is about using Bitcoin for payments (and is not talking about Ethereum). I was talking about Ethereum. I am not upset, but rather amused. I don't care for alternative payments, I am not a crypto bro. I want to see what the tech can do.

  You use stablecoins like Magic Internet Money (MIM), which is linguistic re-appropriation of words or artifacts that were previously used in a way disparaging of entire crypto payment group.
