Yes, but not really.

Satoshi compared Bitcoin to Visa in 2009.

>The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost. It never really hits a scale ceiling. If you're interested, I can go over the ways it would cope with extreme size.

There are other cryptocurrencies than BTC, like Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Dash, which work well for any transaction, big or small, with low fees and fast confirmations.

I'm Scandinavian too. I don't assume that.

>Today almost no one accepts it as payment. Exactly because it is unstable.

Or because transactions became too expensive.

I have an old Dell U2713HM, but text looks terrible on it when connected to my MBP. It looks fine with other computers running Windows or Linux, but not with the MBP for whatever reason. I already tried all the configuration changes suggested in various places around the Internet, but it doesn't make any difference. Is it possible it could be because I'm using a DisplayPort to USB-C adapter?

I'm looking at buying a new monitor to get past the problems with my old one. The ViewSonic VP2771, but I can't find it in stock anywhere close to me. Does anyone have a suggestion a similar product? 1440p, 27", USB-C, specifically for use with a MBP.

>A language with a good type system (ex. Haskell, OCaml, Rust etc.) makes it hard to write bad code,

Maybe they wouldn't be writing any code if they had to write it in a languages like that.
