I don't understand this line or reasoning. People use various cryptocurrencies to buy and sell legitimate products and services every day. Is the argument just that they could probably have done it some other way?
reply
People do, but I personally don't know anyone who does. And I don't exactly live in a bubble, half of my friends were into crypto at one point or the other.

Sure. I don't personally know anyone who does a lot of things. It isn't mean they don't happen.

I do personally know people who pay for regular products with cryptocurrency. Including myself.

I mean at least crypto provided value to criminals, tax evaders and Trump? (regardless of what you think of that). I don't see a parallel with AI.
