I asked what that 1% of useful applications are and he gave a whole dog and pony show to avoid giving any examples. He said that there are times where cryptocurrency is better than your government’s currency (assuming you are in a stable country with a stable currency).
Bitcoin was developed by dudes upset by the 2008 financial crash who wanted to be the ones on top the next time everything imploded. Bitcoin is 100% useless at anything other than speculation.

I just know where to buy the drugs i want here in town, and then i offer cold hard cash that can’t be traced back to me if the dealer rats me out. Much safer and more secure than buying them online.
Yobs like this always come out the woodwork when Bitcoin hits an all time high, talking about how cryptocurrency isn’t all bad, but once you push them it’s the same tired old talking points. They don’t want to help you financially. They just want you to hold their bag while they cash out.
