Right, Iâm trying to sayâjust like normal fiat currency, crypto is meant to be a money, itâs not an end in itself. So using the bar âI wouldnât buy this thing if I couldnât then trade it for something elseâ doesnât really make sense, because the whole point of the thing is that you can eventually trade it for something else.
So, my understanding of your argument is that the ability to buy things with currency is literally the purpose of currencyâitâs a necessary but not sufficient condition for a valid cryptocurrency. Using it as a bar makes about as much sense as saying âI wouldnât buy a car if I couldnât drive it placesââtrue, but trivially obvious.
But in that case...are there cryptocurrencies where I can do this now? Can I buy cryptocurrency and then buy a useful assortment of things quickly and cheaply with it?
