I literally use USDT daily. Use it to pay for food delivery, for a massage or a manicure, or exchange it for cash delivered to my home. Literally 90% of my spending goes through it.

That's true. The claim that Bitcoin is useless for everyday transactions is obviously correct. It's more like digital gold.

However, I find time and time again that HN crows is absolutely unaware of how useful crypto can be in everyday life, so I offer my perspective.
