Okay i stand corrected. that certainly counts as utility.
You mean... like Bitcoin and all the thousands of cryptocurrencies out there?
Actually I use bitcoin about 4-5 times a week. I get paid in bitcoin. I pay other people in bitcoin. I buy services with it all the time. I transfer it into fiat and back again when need be.
BitCORE on the other hand... you're correct in thinking its value is 99.99% speculative.
I just don't see any originality in it and as such its just another clonecoin riding on bitcoin's coat tails.
