>Are you serious? You sound like a parody.. a parrot of the false political attacks on bitcoin. Are you literally an ignorant bigot or a troll?
Are my examples[0][1][2] not documented uses for Bitcoin? Note that I was responding to someone who claimed Bitcoin was useless. It is not.
Yes, there are other uses for Bitcoin (Hodling, mostly), but from a consumer standpoint, illegal stuff is what most of us would likely use Bitcoin for.
Troll? Not sure what you've got your panties in a bunch about here. Everything I mentioned is documented as true. And I don't really care how you (or anyone else) feels or reacts to what I have to say.
As such, that it bothers you says more about you than it does about me, IMNSHO.
Bigot? How do you get there?
Bigot(n)
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his
or her own opinions and prejudices especially : one who
regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial
or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
(Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot )
Please explain how that could apply in this context.
So no. Not a troll or a bigot. You (at least it appears that way) seem to think that I disagree with you and, as such, made a personal attack on me. What gives? I didn't attack you or anyone else. I merely stated some facts that debunked GP's assertion that Bitcoin was "useless."
Again, your (apparently) angry reaction to factual statements says more about you than about me.
I hope you have a good day and have a chance to relax and reduce your stress levels, which seem pretty high ATM.

The exact same thing can be said about literally every currency in use today.
> illegal stuff is what most of us would likely use Bitcoin for.
> would likely
You are full of shit. Since you love citing sources, please provide the source that proves this claim ^.
> that it bothers you says more about you than it does about me
You are spreading misinformation in the worst way - mindlessly parroting trolls and deceitful politicians.
> Bigot? How do you get there?
Did you not state that the only legit use of bitcoin is criminal activity? Does that not insinuate that bitcoiners are a bunch of no-good criminals and/or gamblers? That's pretty in line with bigotry. "They're all a bunch of criminals" is the same behavior you see from a lot of other groups of bigots.
> angry reaction to factual statements
Not angry.
Let me state some facts:
The absolute most disgusting criminals in the world 1) Breathe oxygen 2) Drink water 3) Use cell phones 4) Use websites
Does this imply that oxygen, water, cell phones, and websites are only useful for criminals?

I neither said nor implied anything of the sort. Nor was anything along those lines intended. There's no subtext or nefarious/disparaging implication either.
That you interpreted my statements that way says much more about you than it does about me.
How does that old saw[0] from the bible go? Ah yes:
The wicked flee when no man pursueth.
That's the vibe I'm getting from you, along with a little bit of the Shakespeare[1]:
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Who'd a thunk it, eh? A little literary flourish in response to (unfounded) ad hominem attacks. Good on me.
Have a good day and I hope you have an outlet for that stress and anger. It's not very becoming.
