You can't be serious... you are literally responding to someone who told you they use bitcoin more than credit card, and yet you still maintain that "No one legitimately uses Bitcoin as a form of currency."

You think all of us who use bitcoin to buy things are just lying?

I apologize. Perhaps I should have been less colloquial with my writing. My meaning was meant to generally imply a lack of usage by the main stream population. Niche users who are generally early believers / proponents of a decentralized currency like Bitcoin, which I should point out I very much am and hold definitive stake within, don't count.

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.
