This is stupid and it proves nothing. It's the equivalent of living on Rupees for a week. Sure, you might find some Indian people who will take your money, but nobody's trying to replace the USD with either the Rupee or the Bitcoin. Pure sitespam, this.

"nobody's trying to replace the USD with ... the Bitcoin"

That's blatantly false, it's been presented as a potential replacement since infancy.

"Pure sitespam, this."

Forbes.com as a whole is spam. I'm genuinely amazed by how many articles get upvoted. I guess whatever anti-voting-ring measures in place here can't compete with forbes employees :/

Honestly this is the first Forbes article I ve read in months that had actual, real content in it. Reporters in the ground and not just trolls making polarizing statements to generate web traffic.

I thought it was pretty good. By Forbes usual standards, stellar.
