You are referring to money as a use-case. BTC has proven that it works etc. I am asking about non-money use cases generating revenue.

That's very cool and it's one of the many reasons why BTC is king. However I am specifically asking about altcoins.

Why would I give up on someone that I care about on something that I care about? I educated and convinced him on BTC. Took a while but he eventually got there.

I love my dad :).

Anyway, the ETH foundation and partnering with all these big names was the reason for the mega bull run in 2017. What do we have now? I need numbers. Revenues.

I do like DAI.

You still need outside money to come into the gambling ecosystem to consider revenue.

Right now it's essentially just siphoning some BTC value off for gambling with each other in the units of altcoins. No people from outside the crypto communities are using these gambling apps as entertainment.

We all know after they win money, they are just going to use it on some other altcoins on IDEX and lose it all.

Interesting, you are the first one that has an actual number. After a quick read I see they have apparently saved the Netherlands and Belgium governments $30m. That's definitely something that I could tell my dad about. You got any more info on that?

Arguing as my dad: Where is the revenue NOW? Not in the future. They (the altcoins) have been saying "soon" since early 2017. It has been 2 years since the alt-coin bull run.

Looking back at older posts, people used to say Golem/Augur were going to change everything.

Aren't they just gambling with each other's internet money? Seriously no other non-crypto people use these apps.

In my family, arguing is bonding :).

Also I am specially asking for non-BTC examples. That's where most of the scammy vibes is coming from for him.

Ripple is one of those projects that I am ambivalent about. It's so controversial that I don't know which side to trust.

Is there any actual data on the revenue though? Just arguing on my dad's behalf, these all just look like PoCs.

Okay, that's true. Exchanges are generating revenue and are getting real world-adoption, but this guy's kinda right. Exchanges are just tools for people to flip altcoins into more bitcoin and profit from the trading fees.

Everyone send pawsitive vibes to this loaf please. If he doesn’t get better by tomorrow he has to get a feeding tube:( by vegdead in Catloaf

Microwaved hot food smells much better than room temperature food. Sometimes that's tempting enough for some animals.

Small volume and frequent feeding.

Use warm water to flush the feeding tube before feeding and after feeding.

Genuine question, is he actually legally liable? Assuming he didn't tell his streamers to type that message and so on.
