No, there is no need for you to get fucked. It is the merchants who get fucked by the lack of fungibility. The lack of traceability makes Bitcoin a pain for merchants to use, and makes some Bitcoin worth less to merchants than other Bitcoin. As a committed consumer, you are priveleged enough to never have to worry about tainted Bitcoin. And because Bitcoin fanatics hate being reminded of Bitcoin's fungibility, you will prefer to dismiss the experiences of merchants. Am I right?

I’m not denying there are any privacy issues with bitcoin I am denying that it makes it non fungible. If you measure fungibility by the same standard as any other non crypto thing Bitcoin would be considered fungible. And if I use Bitcoin with 100% success it’s a hard sell to say non fungible.

See? You have to ignore the experiences of merchants because you hate the idea of Bitcoin being non-fungible to someone. Traceability and tainted Bitcoin isn't a privacy issue for merchants. It's a fungability issue for merchants. Merchants don't experience these kinds of issues when accepting cash you know.

And you ignore all the successful times it’s used fungible by many users like me all around the world because you hate the idea of it being fungible. Merchants that accept cash worry about counterfeit.

Yes. It is certainly a virtue of cryptocurrency that there is no need to worry about counterfeit money. Why would I hate the idea of Bitcoin being fungible?
