It has no use outside holding a value.

So… same as fiat then, ey?

I begrudgingly hold BTC, waiting for the halving in 38 days when all my coins double.

At least Monero (which is actually private like cash - sender, receiver, and amount aren’t known to anyone viewing the blockchain) has a valuable function.

If you’ve known something for 11 years, would you say you’ve known it for 2 decades?

Check, mate.

Just right now? As of December I was still having controlled meds sent electronically. Did that change since or is it still state by state?

If you stick it to something and then peel it off, does it leave a symbol? They have tamper detection stickers that leave a design when peeled off but they may not have used it on yours as it appears to be a fabric.

Monero (which is actually private like cash - sender, receiver, and amount aren’t known to anyone viewing the blockchain) has transaction fees of a penny or two. It works by mixing every real transaction with 16 decoy transactions. Currently there are supposedly ways to track a small percentage of transactions but it’s so secretive that only approved western government organizations are allowed access, but it doesn’t work well and it only gives a statistical probability. And it’s one of the wider used currencies current at $145 per coin.

The government hates not being able to track you.

Also BTC fees do suck but they vary. Most days they’re around $1-$1.50 which isn’t that far off from the $.50 charged (to businesses) by credit card processors.

I’m a little confused, I take Adderall which is class 2 like yours as you said, and mine is sent electronically.

Also, Bitcoin ATMs are a massive rip-off and PITA.

Huh. Maybe this whole “fiat currency” thing isn’t the worst idea then. I can get it out of my bank’s ATM from the U.S. dollars in my checking account, they are accepted everywhere in the U.S. And the bank doesn’t charge me anything.

Maybe you didn’t comprehend the part where I said Bitcoin ATMs are a massive ripoff. I can buy any cryptocoin sitting on my couch at nearly 0% fees, versus the 5-10% the ATMs charge. Like the 2.5-5% fiat ATMs charge. Credit cards are also a massive rip off. Are you out here campaigning against fiat because fiat ATMs and credit cards are a massive rip off, and cash/gift card scams steal more than crypto scams?

Mass. Adoption.

The (current) lack of it is the only reason it’s such a pain to get into.

But no worries, my entire back fence is littered with tulips of every color, I don’t need any more 😉. I’ll take a picture when I get home.

Cool. How can you buy a soda at the gas station with it?

I can’t yet unless I go to a couple smaller foreign mom and pop shops, lack of mass adoption.

Maybe, again, if there weren’t a bajillion different cryptocurrencies that almost no one even understands how to use, there would be mass adoption. I have no idea why you expect mass adoption of something so confusing to happen first and then it gets less confusing. That’s not how anything works.

A few are dominant already, one that’s been dominant from the start but isn’t the best yet although is improving. Do you worry about the value and exchange rates of every single mineral and resource, of which there are a bajillion? Or do you just follow maybe gold and silver, or do you only follow fiat, and not even invest it?

Edit: Since you down voted all of my discussion, I returned the favor.

Ah yeah the whole thing is complex. Some doctors still only do physical scripts for controlled rx. Only some states allow escribe I believe. But I have a friend who is also prescribed Adderall, and his doctor prescribes 3 months at a time, not sure how. May just send over scripts dated current date, +1 month, +2 months.
