    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?
