    Is a currency really that much better if it’s less stable than balancing two pyramids on their respective tips?

      Bitcoin is the youngest currency around and u like all of the other currencies it isn’t mandated or controlled by governments. If inventions have to be 100% perfect out of the gate then you’ll never get anything new.

        I think it had it’s time to cooldown from the extrme speculative volatility. It has lost it’s coolness factor in the mainstream after NFT and AI took over.
        Still as volative as ever.

        You can’t tell me a 11% drop in value can be considered a valid alternative.

          You can’t be serious. Bitcoin is less than 20 years old and for most of that time almost everyone thought it was a joke. Most still do. Your timeframe for stabilization is disconnected from reality.

        Bitcoin is the youngest currency around

        No it’s not, it’s the oldest (and as such, the worst in almost every way) crypto.

        Edit: in case you are like one of the commenters here and struggle with reading comprehension, I did not just say that bitcoin is older than USD. Try reading it slower maybe? If the parentheses is throwing you off, try taking it out completely and reading the sentence without it.

        I believe in you.

                Ok then I don’t know what to tell you.

                Is your brain just skipping the last word because it comes after a parenthesis?

                Hint: I said it’s the oldest and worst crypto.

                Unless I’ve missed some huge news, none of the things you snarkily listed are cryptos.

                You have to understand that I’m trying very hard to not be an asshole right now lol. Just read the entire goddamn comment
