El Salvador abandons Bitcoin as legal tender

Do pro-bitcoin people still talk about goals of bitcoin being a currency that people use daily?

I don't follow it closely, but that idea seems to have faded and now it's just an asset to buy and hold while it magically goes up forever.

For daily usage, Bitcoin is simply inferior to Ethereum and other blockchains.

That opinion is not shared by those who think Proof of Stake and no ceiling to supply are bugs vs features.

Those issues are not really relevant when it comes to factors like transaction speeds and the diversity of assets available to transact with, such as stablecoins, as well as DeFi platforms to actually use those assets on.

When most people hear daily usage, they think groceries, bills and paycheck, not day trading on an exchange, defi or centralized.

In this regard, crypto currency is not really a currency that people can use for their daily lives without worry and risk from volatility

yes it is, just use stables. frankly it is a much more convenient way to move money if the other person has it as well

e: and i’m no crypto obsessive really, i don’t think it was usable even 3 years ago but it’s pretty handy now, can easily send $20 in usdc on base or use it to purchase carbon offsets or use it on election/sports betting or use it to purchase deepseek r1 credits…
