Also useless if you don't have electricity or an Internet connection.
That's not entirely accurate. Look up Caesaceous coins. There aren't many of them, but they do exist, and they are physical coins with a private key embedded under a hologram, which as long as the hologram has not been tampered with, is guaranteed to contain the amount of crypto it says, and you can trade that without electricity or internet.
Until that gets common acceptance at places like grocery stores, I'll stand by what I said.
But what u said got nothing to do with common usage.
Of course it does. You can't use a physical token if nobody will accept it as payment.
U said its useless if u dont have electricity and an internet connection. If u meant to talk about it being usless if its not widely accepted then u should have talked about that instead of talking about an already solved issue. Words have meanings thats their purpose if u use them to convey an idea when u actually meant to convey a completly different idea then perhaps u should have used completly different words?
