I heard about it 2009/2010 and didn't buy it then because it just seemed like some scammy way to make money. When I learned more about its use and effects as a currency, I became interested and bought some, but its use as a legitimate currency just won't happen. In practice, it's just a scammy way to make money, always has been. The most useful thing about crypto was that you could convert it to USD for a profit, but the days of ez money have passed.

Interesting experience but I use Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash actually, every day almost.

Not sure why in 2023 people keep saying it "doesn't work". Why say that? BCH just works and always has since 2009.

What part of the world do you live in? Just curious, I travel very often but have yet to see any convenient way to spend bitcoin everyday.
> BCH just works and always has since 2009.

BCH didn’t exist in 2009

BCH was BTC in 2009, iirc
No, BTC was BTC in 2009, and BCH was created as a fork of BTC years later.
