> Bitcoin is still useless

Oh gosh. You're actually one of those people. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you!

And since you feel Bitcoin is useless (I'm leaving the door wide open for a retort filled with cognitive dissonance), please send me 21BTC for which I'll pay you $1000 immediately? My address is:

   bc1q6k9fcpk9z9wrt9fhmu2dnkq7cn0w72rkpwwvmm


What would you do with it if not exchange it for fiat, gamble, or purchase illegal goods or services?


> What would you do with it […]

Bla bla bla. What I do with things in private is not really your business, actually.

Please send me a useless Bitcoin today and I'll pay you useful money for your effort as described above.

Let's trade, sir.


Paul, I'm a fan of this thread to answer your questions...

Is that still true in 2024? Now that fees are up, settlement time is longer, governments can trace coins, and KYC controls are popping up at exchanges?
