How so? Seems correct to me. Just this morning I had the choice of paying for groceries either with Bitcoin or by launching a violent invasion of the store.


/u/nindalf this honestly made me laugh out loud and spill my drink. The next time I am trying to explain the concept of a false dichotomy, I am absolutely using this example. XD


I stand corrected.


I'm enjoying the idea that launching a violent invasion of the store still counts as "paying" in this scenario.


But did neither due to the high transaction costs?


You forget about the violent invasions that allowed the USD to maintain its value while you were paying for groceries lol


Can you name some that wouldn't have happened if the world ran on Bitcoin?


Quite to the contrary, it was obviously part of their point. :P Poster is definitely not endorsing violent invasions.
