Gold does not "intend" to be anything. It simply is. It is humans who assign value to it. Not because it's "supposed" to be anything, but because of our own internal logic and psychology.

Satoshi may have had certain intentions when he designed Bitcoin, just as the founding fathers of many nations and companies had certain intentions when they created the United States, or Rome. But over time, the nature of the beast changes as it outlives its authors. Bitcoin is a substance, just like gold and diamonds. A digital substance. It is people who decide what a substance is worth, and not always for reasons that seem rational. But a keen mind will perceive what truly motivates people: rarity is an example of just such a quality. Realistically, it adds no function or utility to the substance that possesses it. Yet it is a feature of nearly all substances that are perceived as stores of value.

I prefer to think of it another way. The attitude towards it has changed because people still appreciate it for what it does well, they have just moved on to other assets to fill needs that bitcoin can't satisfy.
Bitcoin doesn't pay dividends and isn't fast or cheap to transfer which makes it a poor currency and investment vehicle.
It is, however, an amazing store of value and speculation vehicle, absolutely the best in history, and still hasn't topped out yet.

Coinbase sends each BTC transaction separately instead of batching them. Even a 1 minute delay to batch transactions together would drastically reduce their network usage without having a noticeable effect. Because of all the normalfags using Coinbase to buy BTC, it now accounts for over half the network's traffic, resulting in drastically increased fees due to Coinbase taking up so much space and overpaying for transactions.
Of course, what does Coinbase gain from this? It is affiliated with BCH, who in turn are affiliated with a large mining group who benefit from Coinbase jacking up the fees. By buying ETH/BCH for a low price, weakening Bitcoin, and then having them flip BTC, Coinbase can also make an immense amount of profit.

If I were as retarded as you are showing you are I would kms like literally now.

BITCOIN IS TOTALLY, COMPLETELY USELESS. High fees, slow transactions, always at war internally, toxic community and behind in development. Zero adoption in the real world, except for DNMs transactions, and even there it's going to be replaced by Monero, so it's going to zero.

I give it a year. Then nobody's going to use BTC anymore. Fundamental analysis places Bitcoin at slightly above zero, and that's where it's going. You have to be totally delusional to thing otherwise.

Now you tell me: WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE BITCOIN OVER LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE? I'm forced to if Bitcoin is the only numeraire for a coin I'm interested in, but that's going to change in the next year.

No I don't. In order to keep pumping money into crypto governments need to print more moneis thus causing an even bigger inflation of fiat.

What about it? While what I was talking about relates to dominance, the fact of the matter remains that bitcoin's fundamentals have broken down and there is enough liquidity in the market to diversify into other cryptos and the incentive to do so is high as bitcoin becomes worse and worse at transferring value.
