Wait till you learn about USD
Wait till you try to buy a coffee or pump your gas or pay rent with crypto. Go do your next transaction today with your crypto of choice I’m sure it’ll be very smooth.
I'm not an assshole so I dont buy gas. But I have bought many a coffee and pizza and sushi with crypto. And I'm paying my rent now with crypto
What's your point?
You’re not an asshole for buying gas but ok.
Where are you where all these services take crypto and which coin? You do all this without ever converting to your local currency? These vendors take the coins directly?
There is a such thing as progress.
Some vendors take crypto. Most just take gift cards.
Eg airbnb
If you are converting your crypto into gift cards and then spending gift cards that is not the same as spending crypto. That is the entire point.
If you are converting time into magical bank credits and bank credits into USD then thats not the same as spending cash. That is the entire point.
This is so ridiculous. Bye dude.
Used for food, rent, bills, buying houses and cars, buying appliances and various tech, paying contractors, paying instructors/trainers in every field online or in person, paying for trips to the other side of the world, easily exchange for foreign currency... Etc.?
That USD?
Yeah, the one that's used to launder money, buy drugs, and gamble more than any other currency in the world
Mostly because it's the main currency,, no?
For criminals yeah
You're insane.
Guess you dont know much about money laundering
I'm sure you're laser focused on it.
