"BTC Is Not Useful"

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

I recently took out a very small amount of BTC to pay for a Christmas dinner. It was the very first time that I had used my BitPay card. So I sent $200 worth of Bitcoin to the Bitpay card, and was charged $17 in fees. I'm still very confused about when I can get a Monaco or Tenx or Centra card, but that is another story.

The dinner was absolutely delicious, probably the best meal of the year. However, the Fees put a spoiler on an otherwise very nice evening.

Now, I check out one of Bix's latest videos, and I love his comment. "Bitcoin is not useful." I would have to agree with him. It just really isn't.

Put in terms of scale, I paid 5x in fees that would I would have paid from an ATM in fiat.

In several of my earlier posts, I talk of LTC, VTC, GRS, and even XVG as currencies. (It seems XVG is getting some momentum these days, and perhaps will be the "Silver" to the Monero "Gold".)

Sort:  

BTC is a store of value asset. LTC or BCH will be better used for transactions.

That has been my sentiment for a good while, but it's terribly ironic that it is called a cryptocurrency. Perhaps a more appropriate name would be crypto-asset.

I also think like u.
Nowdays Crypto currency doesn't mean currency exactly it is a asset i think.
But span time, it would be currency after very very long time.
It's my only opinion for Cryptocurrency.
