if you shitcoin is fast and cheap it's because it's centralized and worthless, not because it's great

This market isn't about muh 'innovation' or whichever shitcoin is the most 'advanced' one on paper, this is about
>security
>credibility
>decentralization
>immutability
etc

Everyone can copy any shitcoin's features that's why they are worthless.
Nobody can copy bitcoin's hashrate, immutability, credibility, predictability of monetary properties etc

Crypto is MONEY first and Technology second, get that through your fucked up head retards. No one gives a fuck about your 'ground breaking' shitcoins, they are all scams that can be recreated in a heartbeat.

Cryptocurrency (btc) isn't about buying coffe with it you retards, it's about being able to SAFELY store your wealth in something that CANNOT be inflated (the supply)

Digital scarcity is the most important innovation, not your fucking food tracking on a blockchain or whatever piece of shit you bought and are stuck with heavy bags of.

go and check how many core devs are from blockstream, also no the core devs don't control anything, it's users running their nodes deciding what's bitcoin and what's not.

People with serious money don't give a fuck whether the transaction takes .0001 nanosecond or 15 minutes, whether it's free or costs $50, because security and immutability are the most important thing to them so they don't have to worry that some faggot will change the supply overnight or roll back the blockchain because some scammers cannot get their funds out.

There is no demand for some stupi blockchains or dapps but there is very high demand for a secure, immutable store of value.

Used BRD wallet to transfer a small amount of BTC to my Goybase account, and for some reason the automatic fee calculator shit itself and set the fee as 2sats/byte and I didn't notice. I stuck the transaction hash into a few of those transaction accelerators but don't have much hope. How long until it's dropped from mempool and I can resend it with the proper fee?

Because crypto is not easier than fiat. Complete loss of funds due to a lost private key is unacceptable for mainstream adoption. The use case for crypto is not easy fast payments, we already have that. This is why shit like nano will ultimately fail. Crypto is about insulating yourself from a corrupt financial system, and the way you do that is by buying and holding the coin with the most adoption, lifetime, and most liquidity. That coin is bitcoin

Try reading the bitcoin standard, it will explain you why bitcoin is the best thing since gold. I used to be in shitcoins, but now I'm 90% btc and 10% bch as a hedge.

(I've been in since 2013, bought first bitcoin for $130, worked for 6 crypto companies like metaverse and coinsuper)

I agree with most, but you're missing the big picture. Bitcoin has no inflation and is immutable, and it's the first real scarce currency.

If there is more need for gold, they will increase the gold mining. If more people mine bitcoin, increased difficulty will still mean the same amount gets released. And that amount will decrease.

2. there isnt any better tech. yes, its slow as fuck and has scalability problems, but its still the best out there for decentralized TRUE PEER 2 PEER electronic cash. any other shitcoin that uses any other system rather than PoW is a centralized piece of trash and NOT P2P. if you think PoS is better than PoW you need to unironically end yourself.

I like nano but it has not even 1% of the immutability and network bitcoin has, proof of work in this scale is unkillable.

I like the fact that nano also had a fair launch, with a faucet. No premine like most shitcoins.

Their proof of stake is not secure enough yet to be used in the way bitcoin is, and I doubt it will ever gain enough traction.

>> No.13760882

True. BTC immutability is unmatched, but as you said, BTC took 10 years to reach this level of immutability. NANO can and will be more secure with more adoption.

And I don't think PoW is that efficient since coins like ETC (that is bigger than NANO) got a 51% attack. NANOs DPoS never got a 51% attack...

I'm going to assume it will be a second layer solution(probably not LN). I used to think bitcoin cash could solve it, the bigger blocks can scale enough for the whole population to use it a few times a day. But I think the network will get spammed by projects like VERIBLOCK, which will make blocks tens of terabytes large and will centralise mining.

They are working on a dynamic PoW solution that is going to be released in the V19.

And BTC is also relatively centralised, even after 10 years....

Why?
Isnt it ment to be p2p money?
Which fed cant controll so we stick it to the man?
Its in fucking whitepaper

But if promising projext x starts as one thing, create army of early og-s and top buying bagholders, fails miserably one thing it's supposed to do as btc did as digital cash, than that same army of og's and bagholders create narrative how its "store of value" now and defend it as religious zealots to keep it going up pricewise:

how the fuck is it asset class and not failed project turned into multy level marketing?

Now we ahve custodian solutions for people that dont need immutable and decentralised asset (they want it because it's going up but they want someone else to keep it for them), and dont get me started about everything that is bad and makes no sense in LN.
But eaven if it works, lets say LN works out its deflatarotory asset noone wants to spend.

It could have been in the white paper, does not mean it will be the final product. It's hard to scale to infinity while still being immutable and low in fees. The most likely course is that it will be digital settlement layer that is scarcer than gold, which is still an amazing achievement. With side chains like lightning network or others, which will most likely be the new kind of banks. But this time you will be able to see what the bank actually holds.

we don't need decentralized visa you brainlet, did visa ever scam you when buying something? no? they why are you so obsessed with replacing it?

The thing that scammed entire nations for centuries is central banking (kikes printing money - if you are thick skulled) and that's the only thing bitcoin needs to challenge digital gold, store of value, with as much security and immutability as possible so no Schlomo shekelstein can decide to print more and rob you out of your wealth. Why don't you brainlets get it, why is it too hard for you to understand that the biggest cancer on society is inflation caused by greedy kikes printing more and more money. If people hold their wealth in btc then kikes can print all they want they will simply hypeinflate their shitty fiat and no more parties no more wars, no more degenrate funding, no more stealing from people.

Every faggot cries how bad btc is for muh environment not even realizing that btc could end all wars because kike governments won't be able to print any for themselves to fund those wars

They claim inflation is necessary to spur investment in the stock market forcing people to invest.

OP is correct, but the general public won't give a shit about this any time soon.

The narrative of Bitcoin as digital gold looks like it can hold up for a while, and like paper gold a paper and fractional reserve Bitcoin market may develop that is entirely decoupled from technical fundamentals. That would also dilute the supply and keep the price lower than would otherwise be possible but it can work and continue chipping away at the gold market's cap... for a while.
