Market cap doesn't mean squat here. The one use case that cryptocurrency has satisfied is being a speculative investment.
If some true-believer dude claims he's actually carting around brick-bux in a wheelbarrow and that it's great for buying things (and maybe occasionally actually making a transaction), that doesn't actually mean it's a good choice for that use case. It just means that guy isn't making very good decisions (or is dishonest).

No. There's quite a lot of utility in disputing BS, because that has a chance of eventually making it go away.

I do understand the use case, I just think the application of cryptocurrency to it is BS. If you think there's no point discussing it, you're welcome to stop.
Another possibility is that they get the use-case and consider it worthless. As we have seen repeatedly in this space, popularity seems to have no correlation with technical viability, so this "$2 trillion can't be wrong" argument lacks solidity.
Edit: if you are not willing to admit that crypto allows you to store or move value outside of governments reach, then there is 0 reason to discuss further. And it doesn't even matter at that point who is wrong or not.
But like I said before, these kinds of discussions are totally useless.
You don't get the usecase, fine, no problem, move on already, there is no point of discussing this any longer.
