Bitcoin is electronic cash.

On paper. It was created as electronic cash, but the actual use is far away from that.

I accept it, you accept it. If you want it to be used more, start using it more

Really? Well, I hadn't stopped to think about whether I 'accept' it, but if it's something I'm questioning, I don't think I accept it very much.

Actually, I don't care about other people using it more or not but on a personal level, I am going to use it less.

1. Bitcoin is a currency in El Salvador.

Just on paper.

Quote

To date, most Salvadorans ignore bitcoin. They worry about the cryptocurrency's volatility in a cash-based economy where many live hand-to-mouth.
Some 88% of Salvadorans did not use it in 2023, according to a survey by the University of Central America's public opinion institute. Just 1% of remittances were sent in bitcoin.

2. Bitcoin is a currency on Bitcointalk.

LMAO. A currency in a forum where more than 90% of the traffic is generated by signature campaigns, which pay in bitcoin, yes, but in its dollar countervalue, and where threads like these abound:

I didn't expect to see it went below 56k

Road to 100k?

In contrast, I don't see many threads where members comment on their experiences about using bitcoin to exchange it directly for goods and services, unless we include in 'using as currency' depositing the money you get paid in the casino campaign to deposit in the casino itself, and the like.
