if you are already rich...
> literally zero evidence
to think like this is mind boggling, try to relax, do some research (no, not reading news or opinion articles), and you will find your evidence
also: if smarter people than you are mostly pro-something, perhaps there is something else to it, stop thinking like a 5 year old trying to save the world from some made up monster no one else can see
its more efficient and more useful than anything else currently available
you are mixing exchange rate premiums and transaction fees. imagine 30M or so EUR to USD first then transaction fee. most certainly more.
ofc. fees are just one thing. permission is the other much bigger benefit. it is not easy to send a large sum of fiat internationally. not even even within SEPA. fiat payments are easier but still not "easier" than crypto.
what is legal depends on where/ who you are. most agree with this on other issues, same sex marriage, abortion, even violence.
it is easy to test this you know. send yourself something when abroad or from foreign bank. at the same time send some bitcoin. see what arrives first or at all.
> I don't know what bubble you live in, but the opposite is true: you can't send bitcoins to anyone you want.
the opposite to "you can not send money to anyone you want with fiat" is "you can send money to anyone you want with fiat". which is false. hence initial statement is true. there is no bubble here.
friendly advice. read more.
do you really believe that bitcoin or similar is not superior in this use case than whatever they did back then?
> Thats the best defense for Btc you have?
it is the most obvious use case that is superior to everything currently in use.
> The only people consistently using BTC as currency are drug dealers or drug buyers.
no. but even if true, does that make it less of a currency?
