No, via direct deposit. I had a co-worker once who miskeyed his routing+account numbers and guess what? He still got his money a few days later and it wasn't lost to the void.

There is no blockchain, seed phrases, nor cold wallets required for this amazing feat of money transfer/remediation to take place.

Great! Maybe the government should stop over regulating the banking system so the same protection will also be available to someone who buys drugs.

  • Wait, is the argument now that cryptocurrency only exists and is useful for buying drugs? It's tough to keep track of what point you're trying to make

  • If your argument is that Bitcoin is only good for illicit purchases, then I sort of agree with you but there are better alternatives like Monero. Regardless, you would agree that current valuations are insane given that's the only real use-case, right?

    Also infrequent purchases != storing wealth in Bitcoin.
