    Let me know when your Robux can buy a gallon of milk.

    Seems like one of these things is not like the other to me…

      Oh boy we’ve engaged nerd mode, my favorite!

      Robux technically are just as legitimate as dollars it’s just we arbitrarily do not accept robux for milk because it’s new (aka not “legal tender”). If you want legal money, you’ll have to specify lmao

      That seems to be the original point of this chain, am I wrong?

      Edit: technically legitimate not meaning backed but as legitimate as any other made up tradable token, aka crypto. It might be more correct for me to say robux are technically as legitimate as crypto, but I’m not entirely sure right now about the exact phrasing I want to use.

        Fine, feel free to give me both your illegitimate dollars and robux.

        If they’re not legitimate, you won’t be needing them for anything… unless this is a meaning of ‘legitimate’ I was previously unaware of.
