TIL a solution that doesn't yet have enough adoption is totally not a solution. go FUD somewhere else dude.
> more debit card FUD
you asked for 5 examples, i gave you 5 examples. go FUD somewhere else.
> I just asked my 5 year old about it and she had no idea what I was talking about.
yep, sounds like you're out of arguments. as i said - you should educate and stop embarrassing yourself.
> Wake me up when you can do small transactions
you should have woke up a while ago and started informing yourself on the subject before pretending to be an expert

you're totally free to do that. but seriously, it's definitely useful to inform yourself on the subject before engaging in conversation about it.
Yes, I did, see the various posts I made. Posts you supposedly read, and responded to. You even addressed the multiple premises yourself! You're even addressing various of them in this very post!
> if you intended to ask
That wasn't my intention to ask, it is precisely what I asked. Read it back. Your answer to slow transaction premise was: "this is the solution to the problem" so I say "but it isn't available" to which you say "well it isn't widely available yet" rolleyes. How about you start being practical for a change?
> quick google shows a whole bunch: cryptopay.me, bitpay, spectrocoin, xapo, www.shiftpayments.com. there's 5 for you.
BitPay was on hold, doesn't inspire confidence. Plus:
"Sorry about that! The BitPay Card is not available for order in your area yet. We're working to bring it to more countries soon. If you’d like, we can notify you when it becomes available in your area."
"Why We're Updating the Minimum BitPay Payment Amount to $100 22 DECEMBER 2017 PRODUCT UPDATE, 12/23/17: We continue to monitor bitcoin network conditions, but we have re-enabled BitPay merchant invoices and BitPay card bitcoin-to-dollar loads for $5 or above. BitPay Card orders are also once again available."
Sounds like "working as intended"..
I checked Xapo as well, seems like its a virtual card only.
> everybody is aware that issue exists [...]
Ah, that one. Well, that's odd, I just asked my 5 year old about it and she had no idea what I was talking about.
Wake me up when you can do small transactions. It is kinda important being able to perform small transactions with a currency. You know, I can go to the store right now and auth with a PIN and here's what that costs me: 0,00 EUR. I can even auth with a NFC card, if I enabled that and am OK with that and all.
> it's called a free market
Red herring.
> if it is economically viable for mining companies to spend energy at their location for the price at that location - not much you can do about it.
Yeah, there is: not supporting cryptocurrency where mining is lucrative or not supporting cryptocurrency. You can opt to not support cryptocurrency by simply not joining the MLM/pyramid scheme. Actually, if you got savings, you're probably better off investing in safe stocks such as AAPL (~48% profit last year) or GOOGL (~36% profit last year). The likelihood of these two companies going belly up is very low. You can also spread further, or in multiple markets.
> it's only unnecessary by your definition and understanding of bitcoin.
My definition of the irrelevance of Bitcoin as well as.
