Two countries have adopted Bitcoin as an official currency. I would call that mainstream.
- nicbou 4y agoBut in practice they're not actively used there, or anywhere else. It's a bit like pointing that the UN deems internet access a human right. What can you buy in Bitcoin these days?
- rufus_foreman 4y agoIn those two countries, you can pay your taxes with Bitcoin apparently. That passes the bar for mainstream for me. What other currencies that people can currently use to pay their national taxes do you also consider to be outside of the mainstream?
- nicbou 4y agoYou are allowed to do it. How many people actually do it? Last time I checked, there was very little Bitcoin use in day to day life, and it was on a downward trend. Or in other words, could you survive there if you insisted to pay everything with bitcoin and nothing else? From what I've read, cryptocurrency there was more like a pipe dream or a failed bet than an actual second currency that people want to use.
