Can you buy a tv with a silver bar?
Kenisis is apparently backed by silver, I think that solves it all somehow
WTF is Kenisis, and can you walk into a store and buy a TV with it?
Can you walk into store and buy a TV with British Pound?
In the UK and its territories, yes.
Then you can't with dollar. But maybe can with Euro, not sure.
Are we still debating if crypto is actually a currency? Because yes, currencies can be localized. That crypto is agnostic to localities does not make it any more of a currency.
If you are trying to make another point, I may have gotten lost in the thread.
This happens. I was mostly debating Pratai's "US dollar is the only legal currency in the world" nonsense.
I can't buy a TV with turquoise either. or sumerian shillings.
Then US Dollar isn't legal currency everywhere outside of USSA. You can't just go to shop and buy groceries with it.
now you're shifting the goalposts. why should modern legal standards define a universal anthropolgical phenomenon?
we were discussing money. it's not narrowly defined by what the US government decrees. it's a universal phenomenon across all cultures that predates even written records. do you accept barley corn as payment? the answer doesn't matter because people have used it as money regardless.
I hate to be “that guy” but your definition of money is a little constrained. By that definition, the only “money” is the money of the country you’re currently in. Can you walk into a bestbuy and purchase a TV with Yuan?
You’re likely trying to say “Can you walk into a normal store of an appropriate country and pay with that currency” but even that is flawed, as certain stores don’t accept credit/debit, or don’t accept cash.
You literally quoted an article about the US…. Which is again an issue. The Canadian dollar is not legal tender in the US.
There are also countries where the “legal tender” is useless. Take Zig, which is the recently mandated legal tender of Zimbabwe, which is so scarce that it’s impossible to trade in, leading people to fall back to the (by your definition) fake currency of the US Dollar.
Lmao this is so weird. You’re talking about how the only real money is legal tender, but then you go off about how you don’t care what legal tender is anywhere other than the US.
I mean, good for you. No one is trying to force Bitcoin down your throat any more than they are the Zig. But using the US definition of what is considered legal tender isn't the vehicle you seem to think it is.
Yes, in the US there is only one legal tender, the US dollar. Good job sussing that one out, it must have been a monumental effort on your part.
Of course other countries have different legal tenders. Do you happen to know the legal tenders of El Salvador?
Look at another branches of conversation. This is 'Murica-brained troll, that already banned two people. Just don't bother.
Is it too thick sarcasm, incompetence or you just wanted to say smart cards?
Dollar isn't legal tender either. Everyone wants something called "рубль".
