since people treat crypto as money, it is money.

The only ones that treat it as money are in on it. Otherwise, you could go to a Best Buy and get a TV with your crypto-card.

Can you buy a tv with a silver bar?

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, because it’s not legal currency. Are you getting it now?? Valuables aren’t all accepted currency….

Your argument is DEEPLY flawed.

Kenisis is apparently backed by silver, I think that solves it all somehow

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

WTF is Kenisis, and can you walk into a store and buy a TV with it?

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you walk into store and buy a TV with British Pound?

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In the UK and its territories, yes.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then you can't with dollar. But maybe can with Euro, not sure.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are we still debating if crypto is actually a currency? Because yes, currencies can be localized. That crypto is agnostic to localities does not make it any more of a currency.

If you are trying to make another point, I may have gotten lost in the thread.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

This happens. I was mostly debating Pratai's "US dollar is the only legal currency in the world" nonsense.
