How an internet meme token that is NOT FUNGIBLE and NOT SCALABLE could ever be viewed as money?

Btc is not even fucking remotely private, and never could be. At least choose monero or something

You think once government's start tracking all the holders through the entirely public chain, and black listing certain addresses, it's gonna be a better store of value than xmr or metals?

everything people are willing to pay money for is valuable. and because a bitcoin is becoming rarer over time it's value is going up. every few years a bunch of newfags figure this out and get all hyped up, buying everything they can get into their hands, so it becomes overpriced. then some oldfags dump some of their huge bags to take profits and most of the newfags panic sell again. but every time that happens, the price is alot higher than the last time, because a bitcoin has become rarer again, it's called "halving". the funny thing is, all the normies that know me call me "lucky" and act as if i've won the fucking lottery even though it's all so predictable

It has two valuable properties: it is impossible to forge (otherwise it’d be worth 0) and it had an organic distribution (cost pennies for several years) all distributions become Pareto so the fact that a few whales horde it isn’t as important as the fact that it has no known organisation behind its creation. Compare to ETH which crashes when Vitalik sneezes.

The government can literally trace all coins. They can blacklist anyone's coins at any moment and track who's using them. This is a fundamental property of how transparent btc is.

So far this has not occurred because government's haven't given a fuck. When it actually matters tho people will fomo into monero
