you're right but what I find even more jarring in crypto-threads is that usually the only argument (or at least the most prolific one) from the pro-crypto side is that the argument of the anti-crypto side is off-based. But that is not an argument pro-crypto that's at most an argument that's crypto-neutral. But maybe that's enough for the pro-crypto crowd because neutrality means that the show goes on. Nevertheless, it's seldom good enough for great discussions.
Being pro-crypto is like being pro-internet or pro-money. It doesn't make sense to say that. If I use Bitcoin to buy something legally online is that a scam? Am I getting scammed? Is the other person getting scammed? I just don't understand why people ignore the fact that crypto is a utility. Sure, you can hate a company that scams users into thinking their crypto token has some intrinsic value and then rug pulls a month later. I'm unsure how that's an indictment of the crypto as a technology. That's like hating email because people use it to execute phishing scams.
Genuinely curious, if you're based in the US, why do you choose to spend your BTC as money? Why not spend your USD instead (for the computer parts that you mentioned in another comment)?
