If the value continues to move up in the long run, it's not clear now much BTC can be valued at. $6K for a magic token is already insane. And you're unlikely to see the insane 1000 x times gains we saw in a shitload of coins like we did in 2017. Most of these are marketing hype and the longer the crypto market is around the more obvious it'll be because they aren't delivering shit.

You can't run a smart contract on it, you can't develop a dapp on it, you can't even stake it so mining it doesn't use the equivalent of a small towns worth of energy to operate.

> gold is an outdated tech

Bitcoin is not a tech company. It was just an experiment to attempt create a digital version of gold. Bitcoin just has to be able to prove its store of value over time, prove its security and expand its network effect.

If every few years a better crypto tech comes along and makes a previous crypto tech obsolete, the whole concept of crypto currency doesn't work. Nobody is going to be holding a store of value that will be supplanted by a new generation store of value every few years.

Bitcoin offers some huge advantages over gold. But the other cryptos offer little to no advantages over Bitcoin. Quicker block times and more throughput are nothing when you consider that you have sacrificed the majority of the supply created or controlled by a company or a handful of people (just like fiat with central banks).

And just the fact that Bitcoin was the 1st mover, a digital element that nobody knew what to make of which resulted in fairer distribution over nearly 10 years gives it the closest qualities to a naturally occurring element like gold that we give value.

The ability to quickly transact and deal with high volumes is being confused with the crypto itself. Nobody is doing transactions much less high volume transactions in any crypto after 100 years. The quick transactions will be a 2nd, 3rd layer or more likely 3rd party technology solutions that will be build on the underlying tech.

The only reason BTC can be considered the "gold" of crypto is because it's deflationary. They aint making any more of it. Considering you ignore the double spend bug that took them 8 years to find... (wasn't even them, it was a BCH Dev that found it)

Several other coins can make that claim though. LTC, NANO, BCH, etc. Ideally we'd see BTC be nothing more than a novelty at that point.

The thing is that the longer it is unhacked, the lower the chance of any new tech "generation" to appear. Bitcoin is always updated. Money is money, there's no new generation, unless we come up with another concept, above physical, and digital. What can it be? Multi dimensional existence? This is not the time for us to think about it.

now if you ask about those who already got a lot of coin. I'd argue that the world would not get any worse than today if the wealth changes hands. Also I believe that's it's very likely that those who got those bitcoins are rather young. probably gen x er / early millenials. and so far they've shown to be better elements to the world than the old dying b-boomers.

You're moving the goal posts here bud.

Bring up the Bitcoin white paper, there are exactly two mentions of the word gold and it's used as an analogue to explain the functionality of mining bitcoin. it was meant as the title of the paper implies:

"Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Cash my friend. Cash.

As far as it being fairly distributed, much has been written on this topic. Just a taste:

https://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-97-are-held-by-4-of-addresses-2018-1

even the hash power of bitcoin is moving toward being centralized:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitmain-nears-51-network-hash-rate-why-matters-and-why-it-doesnt/

Fact of the matter is it was sheer dumb luck (or manipulation if some reports are to be believed) that bitcoin got as big as it did. A good first attempt out of the gate, but needs to be reworked or abandoned to make way for better tech when it comes along.

> Bitcoin is not peer-to-peer cash.

Bitcoin is not peer-to-peer. The participants in the network are not equal participants. Miners run mining farms with massive computing power. They are given the rewards. Transactions are not processed by my peers but go to miners to validate the transactions. It's a distributed network but in no way is it a peer-to-peer network.

It's not like cash. It's not fungible. Also two participants can't meet and quickly transact. It requires validation of the transaction from miners not peers participating in the transaction. That confirmation needs to be propagated through the entire network. Block times are ~10 minutes. How is that peer-to-peer cash in any way?

97% of BTC is held by 4% of addresses is an argument of RETARDS who lack basic understanding of math and logic.

In nearly 10 years over 22 Million BTC addresses have come into existance. 50% of addresses contain just dust. A smaller percentage of active addresses own the majority of BTC. If you own BTC, you are likely in the top percentage.

If you hold 1 or more BTC or more, then you are also in the top 3% of addresses that owns 96% of Bitcoin

If you hold .1 BTC or more, then you are also in the top 11% of addresses that owns 99.1% of Bitcoin

If you hold .01 BTC or more, then you are also in the top 30% of addresses that owns 99.87% of Bitcoin

> https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

Are you complaining that by holding 1 BTC, you've an address in the top 3% of addresses?

Also the BTC top 100 addresses filtering out exchanges own 14.6% of the supply far better than other coin. Most of these non-mined ICOs, the top 100 addresses control 75-95% of the supply. Ripple has 60% in escrow. 100 addresses control 85% of those not in escrow. I don't even want to get into the distribution of Chinese cryptos.

BTC top 100 addresses controlling 14% doesn't look that bad when you see that 1% of the world's richest conrol 82% of the wealth or 1% of American's control 38% of the wealth in the country

If you want my take on the BTC/BCH thing here it is; In my opinion if you look at the bitcoin whitepaper BCH is more bitcoin than BTC. And the BTC devs don't have the mentality/mindset to succeed in the long term if they literally tell you to use credit cards instead of BTC while the main purpose of BTC was to make all these forms of payment through banks and institutions obsolete.

So bitcoin isn't valuable for things he does (Technology) and it isn't valuable for speculation (like those shitty altcoins) so what magical asset class does bitcoin exist in? When every other asset provides value in being a useful commodity, investment, speculation or other - Bitcoin transcends everything and just is valuable for no discernible reason

I think you've lost the plot.

Eth? No, but smart contracts are arguably expand upon blockchain use cases. Bitcoin has no real use case. It was originally used for what Monero is used for now.

I was quoting how stupid an article was that was counting millions of empty addresses that contained dust and saying 3% of addresses own 97% of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is by far the best distributed crypto. BTC top 100 addresses filtering out exchanges own only 14.6% of the supply. Nothing else comes close.
