> Bitcoin is objective, hard, honest money

Yes, definitely makes sense when the main usage of it is money laundering and mindless speculation

That isn't the case, but believe what you want.

I mean, if you'd like to see some academic research backing up that it is indeed the case, see here: https://academic.oup.com/rfs/article-abstract/32/5/1798/5427...

"We find that approximately one-quarter of bitcoin users are involved in illegal activity. We estimate that around $76 billion of illegal activity per year involve bitcoin (46% of bitcoin transactions), which is close to the scale of the U.S. and European markets for illegal drugs."

I would love if you could point me towards a current use of Bitcoin that isn't as a currency for illegal goods, or as an investment vehicle -- I'm genuinely curious why you think what I said isn't the case.
