In the sense that people don’t really use it to buy things with.
- xandrius 1y agoSome people definitely do :D
- theshackleford 1y agoSome extreme minority may. The vast, vast majority do not.
- lrvick 1y agoI use it to donate or pay for legal things online I wish to keep anonymous like I would use cash for in person. Most people in the US do not value privacy, but for those few of us that want to purchase online with privacy, or those in heavily censored countries, cryptocurrency is the only option. Just because few people make use of their rights is not a valid argument for their removal.
- Tadpole9181 1y agoUsing a currency with a permanent, irrevocable public ledger of every transaction for anonymous payments? (I assume you mean BTC here, since very few places actually take privacy coins like Monero.)
- lrvick 1y agoI would never use BTC purchased directly from an exchange to make anonymous payments. If a vendor only accepts BTC and I want privacy I normally swap it for monero then back for BTC again to remove any connection to me.
- oguz-ismail 1y ago>Some people *a negligible minority
- serf 1y ago>*a negligible minority which is about the same amount of people that would be interested in buying rape/people-farming games. seems like a match made in (some twisted version) of heaven.
- Y_Y 1y agoYou mean like The Sims?
- Y_Y 1y agoNeglect that minority at your peril! I don't have any money in cryptocoins, I think the market is almost entirely scams and crime, but it's a big market and I see its influence everywhere nowadays.
