Any other play is a losing one as your risk of huge devaluations in trying to use Bitcoin like cash make it incompatible to the average person. The usage of Bitcoin as it was originally envisioned is far from the truth.
You think all of us who use bitcoin to buy things are just lying?
Until Bitcoin as a whole stabilizes, the original vision that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that soon arised were meant to advocate for, will never be realized.
Under current US tax laws, every time you purchase something with BTC, you need to calculate the cost basis in that individual lot of BTC and then determine if capital gains taxes are owed, and if so, then remember to include them on your tax return for the year. Do you have the discipline to do this? I don't. Hopefully the laws change to become more pragmatic in the future, but until then, it's pretty much DOA if you want to remain totally tax compliant.
There is no evidence of these kinds of biases and lots of evidence to the contrary. Coinbase said that they added a million new customers on this last price rise and is now valued at well over a billion dollars. They shutdown people's accounts when they trace their transactions to dark net market activity. And yet people still keep going on about bitcoin only being adopted by criminals.
Are you really going to tell me that the thousands of bitcoin ATMs around the world are all being used for people getting on the TOR network, using encrypted messaging, and buying drugs from darknet markets over TOR hidden services?
