I think one may say "there really and objectively is no reason for me to use cryptocurrencies at all." And that's totally fine. But your statement is out of place in a free society, in my opinion. It resembles what I see in authoritarian regimes.
- rnk 4y agoWhy is it out of place in a free society to point to questionable value based donations? If you want to send someone something that you believe has value that they can convert to dollars or regular fiat currency, like tether or magic the gathering cards you can. The question is really is this a good way to do it. Bitcoin has value of billions of dollars currently, it has convertible value to dollars, just like the supposed crypto dollar coins. But they fluctuate a lot. After the next few huge crypto exchanges die, will there be any left? Bitcoin will still "work" because the blockchain exists, but the value would probably be reduced.
- jjk166 4y agoQuestioning the value is fine, refusing to acknowledge others' point of view is the authoritarian bit. Like I'm not going to use magic the gathering cards as a store of value, I think they're dumb, but I recognize others think differently and I wouldn't rejoice in a magic the gathering card broker going out of business. It's existence does no harm to me or anyone else.
