Can I buy a pizza with it or pay my bills with it? Can my employer pay me in it? Or is it just an “emperor’s new clothes” thing? I just don’t see the tangible value in it. Rhetorical questions, BTW, I know you can’t buy a pizza with it, at least outside of some edge cases that I’m not aware of.

I thought what made money money was everyone agreed it was valuable and was willing to exchange it for goods and services directly. I don’t see that with crypto.

    Sure! you can buy lots o things with it, if going through gift cards is ok for you. websites like coinsbee or bitrefill allows you to buy:

    • videogames (steam, keyshops etc)
    • fuel
    • traveling (trains, airplanes)
    • food (various supermarkets)
    • clothes

    and more. I personally tried only videogames and amazon but it worked for me. i have a gift card for IKEA but still need to test it.

    Also you don’t need to give data aside from a mail so it’s pretty private
