minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 months agoIncorrect, but you finally got around to using that straw man you mentioned. There are thousands of companies who use cryptocurrencies. People who own cryptocurrencies use it in transactions. Your argument was that there are not. So, I guess you’ve proved yourself wrong again. Surprising that you could do it this many times in a row, but at least you’re consistent.
minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 months agoNo they don’t. They use it like a stock. You cryptobros are absolutely hilarious. Crypto isn’t replacing real money. Sorry to break it to you. Giggling in my chair right now at how pissy you are about crypto having no real use beyond cryptobro gambling.

Keep giggling, that sounds about your speed.
