They've been doing this for ages though. It's obvious older generations don't understand nor even want to understand that this stuff does have value and can be measured.

All you need to know that Bitcoin is a scam is that hardly anyone even uses Bitcoin as a currency. Instead, they treat it like a volatile stock.

Because it's so volatile and risky, it is next to impossible to use as a widespread adopted currency by people. If I have a dollar, I want that dollar to be worth at least 99.99% of its worth tomorrow so I can know I have a safe storage of value.

Everyone I see who hypes up BTC is just eager to cash out back to the stupid dreaded fiat US dollar that they spit daggers at all day. They want nothing more than to sell Bitcoin and be rich in USD, not bitcoin.

It's not that simple.
- Bitcoin represents the believe in cryptocurrency as a whole, it doesn't matter that its technology is outdated compared to some newer coins. Core devs could always adapt new technology into Bitcoin. It will never be replaced.
- Altcoins are the testing ground for incorporating new features, they can end up like shitcoins.
