BTC is used for trade. You know, drugs etc. And money laundering. Sanctions busting. Tax avoidance. It has a lot of utility...

BTC is pretty bad for illegal activity since the transactions are public.

You'd be much better off using the US Dollar. Even if it's through a bank like HSBC.

It is used for those things I agree.

Those things alone do not hold up a $1.5T market cap. I would say they don’t hold up a $1.5B cap either.
