Hello anons. Recently I was speaking to someone online and he told me some very interesting things about crypto. He told me he has been in the crypto space for a few years now and considers himself smart. And he said that BTC is outdated tech and that some of the new alts have much better tech and will replace BTC. He told me ETH has superior tech to BTC and that it is basically BTC 2.0. He told me I should not buy BTC because of how slow it is and how old its tech is. Is he right? I was surprised to hear what he was saying because I hear people talk about bitcoin but did not know anything about alts.

He said litecoin has better tech than bitcoin because it is faster but that litecoin tech is also outdated and that newer alts are even faster.

I'll tell you something, visa and mastercard are even faster! go long on visa and mastercard, this is the future, so fucking fast!

>> No.13039545

haha yes! it's not bitcoin that has value, but the underlying technology, "blockchain". while bitcoin has turned out to be a failed experiment that is basically dead in the water blockchains will revolutionise the way the world does business in almost every aspect. I'd STRONGLY urge you to sell any of your bitcoin go-, I mean anon, bitcoin is outdated, sell them while you still can!

cryptocurrency will not die but it will only be a small part of an entirely new ecosystem that will be spawned out of DLT and smart contract. Emails were some of the first inventions spawned from the internet but has it been the most significant?

Redpilled.

OP, Bitcoin is digital gold. The currency part comes later. Tech doesn't matter, as long as Bitcoin is functional. The smartest people will continue to work to improve it.

Look up Andreas Antonopoulos and start watching his vids. Do your own research. This is hard to wrap your head around, but once you get it, you get it. Whatever you do, make sure you have ONE WHOLE BITCOIN by the end of this year. We're going to $100,000+ in the next bull run. This is your last chance.

Godspeed. Don't fuck it up, unless you want your future self to enjoy suicidal thoughts.

This is literally what everyone was saying during the 2017 ICO scam bull run. What you need to realize is that most cryptos don’t have value because of how advanced their tech is, they have value because of how many people believe in/trust them. Same goes for other stores of value/currencies like USD and gold. If someone made a new currency with all the same features as the USD except it had an improved security feature (e.g. extra water mark) it wouldn’t be worth more than the USD. In fact, it would be worthless.

Faster is equivalent to superior technology.
Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency because it is the most decentralised and hence the most secure.
It gets its value from its security and immutability; not speed.

meanwhile there's like 3 fucking green ones even though the green segment on the legend is the same size as the blue one

Lol this
it took me 7 years now to realise this shit could become worthless but it is a cool idea
There are 0 guarantees and loads of risk
Bitcoin is the only chain that has a chance at a decentralized economy
Everything else is a cheap shortcut by loosening bitcoin's attributes

Being young and a risk taker had me hold through all the drama but now a days I don't know
There's too much money on the table with too much risk even in bitcoin but alts are brainlet tier insane to be buying
