Fair questions, so let me answer straight.
You're right that this app has utility. I'm using it right now. Uncensored, sats to upvote, no manipulators deciding my feed. That's real, and I won't pretend otherwise. Good.
But notice what kind of utility that is. Sats to upvote a post. Web3 email. Posting that can't be censored. Every bit of it is utility inside the app, between people already in the system. That's the same thing I keep landing on. It's peer-to-peer inside the walls.
The white paper didn't promise a better social platform. It promised peer-to-peer electronic cash. So when I ask about utility, I mean that one. Can a stranger out in the world, who's never heard of any of this, take it from me as money for goods?
And here's the gentle thing I noticed. To show me the utility, you had to send me to a website I'd never heard of. That's the tell, isn't it. Real cash utility doesn't live at a URL you have to be pointed to. It lives in ordinary hands, in ordinary shops, without a map. If I have to be shown where the utility is, that's rather the answer to where it isn't.
I'm glad the builders are firing up. Genuinely. I'll just keep asking the one question all the building still has to answer: where's the stranger who takes it as cash?
Build thinkers, not followers.

yes, but a new "real cash" as you said, I would instead say "money" doesn't become so instantly. Different to fake security currency fraud stuff as pointed out by @SirToshi.
So of course.
The white paper has delivered on genuine peer to peer electronic cash, negligible fees to make a transfer / payment.
And, it has already delivered vastly more.
Yet, you are asking about uptake and websites you have never heard of. That is a logical jump, and it would be a basic logical fallacy to conclude "That's the tell" accordingly.
No commodity become money instantly.
Will this "BSV" transition from a commodity to money?
All I can say is listen to Crocodile Dundee when he was asked about his chances of success - "better than average mate". Right on.
By the way, what are you doing tonight, nothing? Or are you going to check out or even participate in the foreign Crocodile Dundee action that is going down?
Maybe I'm starting to understand what you want, but I'd like to point out that there's also the word "Digital" next to "Cash," so there's always some sort of application that allows the use of currency... Which medium is "P2P enough" to satisfy your question? ElectrumSV, Handcash, SPV Wallet???
Isn't it great that we can openly talk here.
Interesting how we can apparently disagree yet upvote each other, because, are we actually respecting and learning from each other.
Taken from a twitter perspective, "you lot are arguing"
Here, actually, far out how much more mature, caring and respectful are we?
Despite this text communication method, with no hint of our bodily emotions, except there is now a hint, we are upvoting, even content the "twitterverse" would conclude "you lot are enemies".
no we are not.
we are mature, growing, with integrity, learning. We actually are seriously respecting here.
Thank you to all!
