    Your landlord doesn’t accept Pesos so I guess that’s not real money either

    Bitcoin briefly rises to record high over $70,000

      In my country they aren’t. They’re foreign currency. I get mad if someone slips me them instead of using our currency.

      And yes it’s irrelevant how much a bitcoin is worth to its use as a currency. Currency and investment vehicles are actually conflicting concepts. I don’t want to use my mutual fund to pay taxes. It’s supposed to get added to consistently for a long time then removed from. Currency is for transactions. Bitcoin is bad at transactions.

        I agree that bitcoin is currently not good for transactions. There is the lightning network and other cryptos, but Bitcoin is more of a staple name than seemingly the real solution.
