So it is all pedantic arguments for the sake of some theoretical version of something that does not actually exist in a functioning and usable form right now without all of the net negative consequences that already exist, right now.

But you did a transaction! And in theory it can be for science(tm)! That makes it all okay because technically a dictionary absolves the holy code of all the wrongdoing done with the holy code. morshupls

And also seeing if I'm able to have a constructive conversation

Bring me one that isn't pedantic sea lioning and sure, maybe.

But that's not it's purpose or main use

It is the purpose and use for people buying into it, right now, and that's what gets people interested and investing, no matter what claims are made by the grifters themselves.

it's good practice for real labour conversations in the workplace.

If you're a leftist in any actual form please reconsider peddling internet funny money to people that can (and often have) lost a lot of money buying into it, whether through volatility or outright fraud/theft done with the technically not theft holy code you're apparently trying to peddle.
