listen bitcoin has some usecase- yes you can pay for hosting and buy from darknetmarkets or use it for something else- i know that and i use it myself.
in case of darknetmarkets you cant use bitcoin anymore if you want to do things on there commercially- i personally dont give a fuck if i get busted for buying a bit of weed on there
and in case of hosting i do it because bitcoin is more conveniently to me than using a credit card- no doubt about that- however i rather pay with etherum cause it would be faster.
Of course bitcoin has his advantages but it turned into shit imo- its to much controlled etc.
Everything we old school crypto guys got in crypto for is now done. Its not what it used to be and im not really talking about the price cause back than btc was 300 400 bucks- i got in at 50 bucks made millions in crypto and probably lost more than that, but its not the same.
and i feel the system to much in this spcae and what once was a tool that liberates us(darknet markets - p2p transactions and what not) turned into a tool to enslave us.
I dont feel this anymore- and all the bad people controll this shit now- like governments etc. , still Im not sure if the gvernemnt or thiel and the cia are behind crypto in generall, but thats another story.
