You can substantially only buy drugs directly for Bitcoin - still, to this day. Otherwise you have to exchange it for dollars, the things humans use for payment

You can substantially only buy drugs directly for Bitcoin - still, to this day. Otherwise you have to exchange it for dollars, the things humans use for payments. This can be done via transparent gateway like Bitpay, but directly exchanging Bitcoin for legal goods and services is still not something you can do. Not least because 4tx/sec wouldn't even service a mid-sized Costco.
- randomhodler84 5y agoMy goodness Arctic, I don’t think those 2015 era talking points apply anymore. DNMs take monero. Bitcoin, you can buy many many things. And you mention the 4tx/sec thing, you know that payment channels were invented many years ago and are used by WHOLE COUNTRIES today right? We can argue over and over again. The world is changing, moving. We have lost faith in the system. We made our own system.
- aspenmayer 5y agoYou can buy goods from Amazon with crypto without even having an Amazon account.[0] You are coming off as a motivated detractor, but I don’t find your points timely. They are like 10 years out of date. Crypto works for many real world use cases. You may not know this or agree, but it’s the lived reality of others in this thread.
