So then you claim that being able to buy stuff isn't a "mass scale" use case...
You realize that's fucking stupid right?
As I said, I can and do buy things regularly (though "rare" comparatively with the normal fiat purchases) with crypto. Other's can do with me as well as the sites that I do it on do it as well. I can prove that by looking at the block chain and seeing the traffic in their wallets.
So "way to go man!" Unless you actually have something more meaningful than "nuh uh". You're kind of full of shit.
Edit: Lack of "big" vendors doing it != not possible at mass scale.
Dell at one point accepted crypto. They stopped because of regulation, not because of technical limitation. And sites like Newegg still accept it.
