Diamonds aren't quite as useless as bitcoin currently. Bitcoin - as far as I'm aware - is currently mostly used for speculation. Whereas diamonds are very useful in many industrial processes which require hard materials (think cutting/grinding tools).

One could argue that diamonds are considerably more useful than bitcoin, most of the world's diamond consumption is for industrial use rather than jewelry.

You’re right, that was aimed at the jeweler side of the market. I think the ones being made here are industrial.
