a store of value. And aside from BTC and ETH and maybe XRP and XMR these coins will never make it to currency status (except maybe for industry-specific uses)

It has to come from someone else. Cryptos aren’t creating new money. If a layman

Both. Contractors on house work. Service providers.

A contractor let you pay him in dogecoin?

Charles Darwin

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

AtomicHamster

While that is true. It is less true than 2017. Less white paper waving overall.

The thing I've never understood is why adopt Bitcoin?

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

dave

4/18/21 12:41pm

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?

dave

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