Yay I can't wait for a trip to the grocery store to take 12 hours because every transaction takes 20 minutes. lol. This is just pure bitcoin hype, there are far better coins to use if you are actually interested in them as currency.

I don't see Bitcoin as currency, it's a store of value. You're correct that there are better coins for currency.

Edit: Could have sworn your comment said BTC and not crypto?

BTC is the foundation of crypto, but other coins play an important role (i.e. high volume transactions). BTC is the value that powers the alt-coins.

try sending money to someone in north korea. how many hours does that take?

North Korea leader has an army of hackers trained to steal bitcoins and uses them to launder money...

probably not the best example

Thats the best defense for Btc you have?

The only people consistently using BTC as currency are drug dealers or drug buyers.

it is the most obvious use case that is superior to everything currently in use.

no. but even if true, does that make it less of a currency?
