I wouldn't call this adoption, no one here is using it as currency

Both. Contractors on house work. Service providers.

A contractor let you pay him in dogecoin?

4/18/21 10:16am

It was an option. Multiple different ones I saw listed too.

Was this your contractor?

Like 3? 4? And they’re dumb.

A lot of coins aren't meant to be used as widespread currency. Rather, they are used for the services they provide.

Not all are designed to be used as currency. That is far from the only use case.

Yes. I realize this. But many who “invest” (more like speculate) don’t and don’t care and maybe that’s fine

This is true.

Some of it is adoption

4/18/21 9:45am

Why buy an iPhone or invest in Apple. It just lined Steve Jobs pockets? Tesla?

dave

Umm, because an iPhone provides utility to the owner, apple makes products that provide utility too

With no way to delete or modify those transactions, criminals are idiots who do this

boyblue

It doesn’t appear that is happening

There will always be idiots, and when some go to jail this way, new idiots will make the same mistake

I am not opposed to people innovating and getting rewarded

Would you buy the stock?

No, but mostly because I don't purchase individual stocks
