2017 really cemented the fact that crypto is useless. But shit started going downhill in 2015 when blocks were filling up and you had a vocal minority deliberately sabotaging the btc project. If you weren't around at the time, there were numerous large online retailers accepting btc directly for purchases. It got so popular that the transaction backlog piled up. Instead of taking this opportunity to remove the artificial spam-cap on transactions, the community decided that we should abandon all practical use case of btc transactions and instead just raise fees. Literally killed the entire project. DOA.

I remember when delivery services and newsegg accepted crapto, lol, and when they stopped doing so. crypto, including buttcorns, are a clusterfuck on a technical level that simply cannot effectively scale and as every socialist fantasy, if it would work as imagined, violate basic physical laws.
2015-17 was imo the last attempt to overcome technical limitations and everyone realizing, that they are, just like the capital optimization problem, unsolvable, as too many were already too invested went fuck it and embraced the tech as a duct tape clusterfuck to scam.

By sales marketing propaganda behaviorized sheepl were the perfect victims

agreed but are you aware of what was the other proposition ?

do you know what was offering the other side ? full power to miners to make any decisions toward the protocol. that's it. no power for regular users
and that's why it was pushed back.
read the book by Roger Ver and he will explain to you their vision
I was kinda convinced I was a Bcash guy before I read the book and understand better. I'm actually a Bcore guy

i still don't understand why we didn't implemented in Core something like: each halving, increase block size by x1,25
well i can understand that it's somehow better for the fee market but still it would have been better

The core issue for Bitcoin, or really any other distributed database used for whatever is not incentives, or even scalability. Its accountability. Nobody having accountability for anything and the risk being losely distributed in a nearly socialist way, with a few profiting from decisions made in small cliques, be it miners, coredevs or whoever and resulting costs being socialized on everyone in this ecosystem.

Crypto in general failed mostly on a governance level. Socialism doesn't work

what the fuck are you even talking about, whoever fell for those scams then, will fall for scams now, crypto is more in line with people who collected ancient coins or collectibles, they follow their passions and the thinks they like and then justify it logically by saying "oh yeah my conan (the dog) will moon because its a national dog", they may end up rich anyway but most people just buy the things they find funny or quirky

well, most bitcoin forks (be it soft or hard) were user activated
it's not the best but still, it let people somehow vote on what happens next
in a perfect world asics wouldn't exist and everyone should be able to vote with their CPU
anyway being able to vote with your node is still better than nothing, and better than giving full power to miners like bcash want

The votes are like in a multi party "democracy" a sham. Communist council cliques make the decisions, socialize the risk the way they profit the most individually, which is of course rational, and use the votes by either the asci/"whale" oligopols and a hand full of "regular" users to give the decisions a democratic paintjob for legitimacy, without any accountability for the decision makers.

And its not just on the protcol code decision making level, the nobody is accountable issue can be found on every level, rare bug in the protocol or straight out exploitations, its the end users fault, and that's something the actors in these ecosystems also support, always blame the end user.

Crypto actors managed to go from an attempt to be an anarcho libertarian experiment in responsibility without central decision making to the exact opposite, the worst form of socialism centralized decision making, privatization of profits while risks are socialized and there is no accountability on any level And switching protocol doesn't work either, the culture is enrooted, because it makes the most dollar from scamming.

Crapto failed, and its now the blueprint for glastnosting the population while strengthening the tyranny.

i hear you but i disagree on certain things
if we are realistic, ok about your first paragraph even though it's not that simple otherwise BTC as we know it today would be in fact BCH if big players were/are the only one to decide
UAHF and UASF are a real thing and give power to people, even though it's not perfect

about no accountability, i'm fine with it. and i don't see why there should be accountability. bitcoin isn't a company and promise nothing. i strongly believe that if one fucks up, it's is own fuck up.
all the people losing their bitcoin made a mistake somewhere. many never did

bitcoin is what people decide it to be. it will probably evolve further than what satoshi intended.
last time i read an anon saying: the guy who invented the telegraph did it so people could communicate. he had no idea of all the use cases that would come up later with his invention

i've had the feeling you were talking about bitcoin AND altcoins together. am i right ?

>UASF
At the beginning is always somebody that wants to socialize risks and maximize profits at the cost of somebody else. The voting and even non voting is just trying to give it a "consesual" paintjob.

Non-accountability is why etfs are going to be the future masters of crypto, and why non is ever going to be a widely used payment system, they provide accountability and make crypto a pure useless greater fool speculatory vehicle. Further, if your credit card gets stolen, you call the customer service, if your crapto gets stolen, even by your own fault, you have an entire cult telling you to piss off and buy more, and if you don't like the changes on the protcol that were "voted" on, the same. The correct way to treat such a risk of non-accountability is staying away from the underlying, whatever it is.

>Bitcoin and alt coin interchangeability
Yes because on a technical level they all are. Distributed databases are perfectly substitutable at practically no cost. Somebody "innovates", it can be copied.
One might say some are more "secure" as others, but as the last few years showed, nobody really cares about security. All that anybody in crypto cares for is making more dollar. That hasn't changed in 14 years
