You're moving the goalposts... The question is: do you have evidence of legitimate economies transacting in Bitcoin today? The question isn't about potential use cases, it's about data supporting the story that Bitcoin is actually used today to support the exchange of legitimate goods and services.

Again, not links to white papers, ".io" startups, articles filled with "it is revolutionary" and such buzzwords, etc. The hype wagon is getting heavy. Where are the results? Where are the "Use of Bitcoin has been skyrocketing in X market" headlines, where X is not "ransomware"?

So Coinbase Commerce [0] enabling thousands of Shopify [1] stores to accept Bitcoin and the like isn't a legitimate use-case?
