 sorry for the ignorance, then here they are all fanboys so not the best cpsa to say ... but explain to me what is the usefulness / reason for having btc (if not 100% pure speculation or collecting) ?! what can be done with btc? what purpose does it serve ? paying with btc is just extremely expensive, a btc-based economy is huge bullshit, the very fact that it is not deflationable makes it impossible (imagine a period of crisis, a pandemic in a world where btc reigns) store of value? 🤔 ok maybe, but: 1) gold already exists, it means replacing gold with btc (no thanks, everything based on the network is intrinsically more risky due to the fact that technologies improve) 2) at that point why not create (since it is possible) a store of value that is scarce like btc (or more) and also scalable? and that it does not pollute enormously
