Bitcoin is up to $$$$ Wow. Now are you willing to admit you're wrong? - Nope. Someone just paid $120k for a banana taped to a wall. That doesn't mean it's the best designed banana ever, or that it will be worth anything a year from now, despite how many people are talking about it.

Major industry players are adopting crypto - Nope. Financial firms who claim to be "exploring" crypto or "handling crypto" aren't really doing that. They are instead partnering with exchanges who convert that crypto into fiat within their existing systems.

You can't print Bitcoin like the fed prints cash - Wrong. Yes you can. First, bitcoin has forked several times; second you don't necessarily need to print more bitcoin. You can create artificial inflation through wash trading with tokens like Tether. Stablecoins are printed out of thin air and traded for bitcoin and vice-versa. Same difference.

Bitcoin has value because of Proof-of-Work - Nope. If I spend my life savings sailing a boat to a foreign place where somebody gives me a password, that password is not worth the money I spent getting there. To anybody else it's still just a bunch of letters and numbers. However many resources were consumed to create it, does not matter. And ideally, if it was that difficult to create, it's a stupid idea that just wastes resources unnecessarily.

You can make a lot of money in crypto - Nope. Not for most people. The only way someone makes money in crypto is if someone else loses money. Don't be fooled by survivorship bias.

Company X is making a fortune in crypto - Nope. They're making a fortune exploiting people who hope to make money in crypto. Exchanges don't make money from crypto. They make money from people. Crypto doesn't generate any value.

Crypto is a good investment - Nope. You're not "investing" in anything. Stocks represent actual intrinsic value in companies that own assets and can generate income. Ownership of crypto does not create any value or represent any assets. The only way crypto increases in value is through recruitment of downline buyers - which is the textbook definition of a MLM/Pyramid scheme. Just because some people make money does not mean the model is in any way, lucrative for even a noticeable percentage of players. Most people will lose.

Bitcoin is a store of value, better than gold, etc. - Nope. See the above "Crypto is a good investment" myth. Comparing crypto to another system and saying it's better is also foolish. Gold is also a relatively lousy "store of value" when compared with stocks and other securities. A "store of value" is just that: a store of value. Bitcoin neither represents anything "stored", nor anything of "value." Bitcoin has value because of marketing hype, not anything tangible. It's popularity is a "fad." And yes, some fads can last decades. That doesn't mean they'll be forever appealing.

Crypto is great because ____ [fiat, government, The Fed, taxes, etc.] sucks - Nope. If you have to talk shit about a very useful and necessary part of society and the economy, in order to make your fantasy digital dollars seem reasonable, your argument is weak. "I have a car with square wheels. It's the best because soon, everybody will learn the secret of how corrupt round wheels are!"

The problem with consensus that isn't proof of work is that it always equates to "buy my premined scam coin and stake it for ponzi tier returns"

I've spent so much time on here shilling Bitcoin from 12 to 30. Spent a ton of time arguing with you guys. I don't care anymore. Spend time DYOR. Watch a few hours of each of these guys. I'm convinced there is a segment of the population that simply lacks the creative ability to understand Bitcoin. Anyways;

The mining and the proof of work algorithm maintains an incorruptible public ledger. Sailing a boat does not. On this incorruptible public ledger people may choose to use it as a monetary system, and that would be a rational choice because other actors can't cheat.
