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.

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.

dave

Some of it is adoption

4/18/21 9:45am

dave

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
