The thing I jumped over in the US politics thread and got baited in to a wider Crypto convo was his claim that EU is looking to adopt stable-coins because of this lie he spouted:

Despite me first telling him that the EU initiative is about creating a digital Euro which isn't based on stable coin or any crypto technology (and is motivated by relying on USA fintech, not crypto) and asking for sources of EU retail adoption he kept on droning about unrelated things.
There is no retail adoption of crypto in EU countries, I believe everyone here from the continent can confirm. Holding crypto is not the same as paying for things in crypto. There is no adoption of crypto as a useful technology for aynthing other then gambling and drugs.
He is still refusing to admit that he has no idea (outside of a title of a think tank piece which he hasn't read) on how the EU Accession process works and is not really engaging with anything there other then "no you are wrong" because there are existing mechanisms that no one except a random think tank ever suggested for Ukraine.
