re: Why are so many ppl still hung up on the “non-physicality” or “non-productivity” of BTC?

It's truly amazing how early we are in crypto. Seasoned investors know nothing about crypto.

Will some of you please learn some stuff about crypto. The black market stuff is from a decade ago. Blockchains are open ledgers. You can trace any transaction to a bank account.

You have to use a mixer like hurricane cash to hide crypto and even then it's still not perfect.

Why doesn't anyone talk about other use cases for crypto outside of spending cash?

One of my favorite things to do in crypto is lend $ for very nice yields. I also provide liquidity in markets for very nice yields. I have bonds from hex.com that destroy the 5% traditional banking is paying.

Think of any banking service imaginable and there is a crypto designed to do it. Gaming, data storage, and all other sorts of things exist on the blockchain. Ethereum and PulseChain are both like app stores allowing you to use tons of decentralized apps.

Do some research. Bitcoin is the oldest coin on the planet. Learn about some others.
