Bitcoin is not cash. It's also a public ledger where at some point, everyone's purchases can be traced. It's not as private as it once was. I'm not a BTC maxi or against it. It's just not the same as it once was before Satoshi went away. Bitcoin is still an experiment. It's not the be all end all of decentralized "money"

Cash is a bad use case anyway, why would you want anyone to spend BTC? Holders only.
BTC's value is from security, scarcity, and track record.

Right from the subtitle "alternative to central banking" that's a big red flag he doesn't get the "point" of central banks and why something like buttcoin can't do that. A central bank's there to inject liquidity and function as a lender of last resort.

Also here's a quote to bring out the ideological wackyness of lolberts
>Hayek’s scheme of private individuals or banks issuing their own currencies—a scheme which he himself, in more sober moments, would have dismissed as absurdly “constructivist”—was not so much adopted as coming to serve as inspiration or jumping- off point for other money-crank schemes, which have proliferated ever since. They range from private currencies to schemes for private banks freely inflating credit on top of gold currency reserves. As these proposals have multiplied, however, gold has inevitably dropped out or been pushed out of the picture. Later plans range from banks inflating notes or deposits on top of Federal Reserve Notes even after the Fed has been abolished; gold being a mere shadow helping to prop up the system; and finally schemes where banks clear each others’ notes indefinitely with no possibility of the poor public’s being able to redeem its way out of bank money. Finally, standard or “high powered” money disappears altogether, and inflationary banks merely redeem their notes and deposits in the equally phony notes and deposits of other inflating banks.”
>Money-crankism is a common phenomenon of the last two centuries and, as every professor of money and banking who has received lengthy and passionate letters written in crayon on the subject can attest, it always involves schemes for radical expansion of the supply of money. The proposed monetary inflation can either be governmental, or, if proposed by the libertarian-inclined, it can be private. Economically, it makes no real difference, except that empowering every private person to print as much money as possible would bring hyper-inflationary disaster even more quickly.

BTC doesn't want to be a central bank, it's just a parallel some draw. BTC isn't literally trying to replace banks, it just exists.
>>15570334
You idiots get so caught up on BTC not being money, it's only money for nerds and now theres even better nerd money than BTC.
But who would spend BTC? Only brainlets spend BTC, do you want to tell your grandkids you spent BTC at $10k when it's million. You'd have to be dense to buy BTC as money, just buy nano. People only buy BTC because they're greedy and they want gains. BTC price only goes up because it's demand is greater than supply. Scarcity drives BTC.

I recently read this book. I hope I had read it before. It is indeed a good read. The guy makes a lot of good points, but he tends toward BTC maximalism in the end, which you can clearly see from a mile away. This is the book most normies should read in order to understand BTC.

Then create it. If it could be done someone would. You just need to code a blockchain as secure and fast (that part isn't hard). Then you launch it and get people to mine it and use it (much harder). Then keep it running and fix all bugs for years. Keep market quantity low while doing it. and you'll get BTC gains.
You can't predict future demand so you can't talk about it? By that logic we can't predict future network use so we can't talk about TX fees at large scale. Lets all live in the present and not project into the future. Oh wait that's the opposite of what we do here.
We can look at previous demand and project forward, shit that's what TA is supposed to be.

actually bitcoin is a cash SYSTEM. Says it right there in the first paragraph of the WP. And it is a chain of digitnal signatures.... now, do we still have something like that in the wild? Well yes we do, in BSV. So you are correct if by Bitcoin you mean BTC, however BTC is not Bitcoin anymore, it just has the ticker symbol. BTC is shit.

yeah because something has never started as one thing and ended as another. Satoshi didn't know what BTC would be and he left it to us. You think BTC should be cash we'll see if the market agrees with you, i bet they don't BSV remains a shitcoin that burns out and BTC goes to $1 million someday

Do you tell people in real life you know the real Bitcoin and it's not bitcoin? I would laugh in your face

you're pathetic and nothing you say adds anything of value here at all. You clearly have no ability to judge BTC on any metrics. Probably not tech, TA, fundamentals, usage, because if you did, you would have provided some example to back you up.

You're retard, who can't write, so you negatively judge others writing without any real insight
