I just dont get it. Look at all the different projects in the cryptospace. Countless alts have better features and are better stores of value than BTC shitcoin. Crypto is innovating. No one gives a flying fuck about old outdated tech. Why is btc still number one? Is it the name? Is the name just more marketable? Are normalfags so stupid they just buy what the chinks and glowniggers tell them to?

The appeal of btc is as a store of value. Btc is the only crypto that has stood the test of time in security, adoption, and reliability. Those are the reasons it will probably always be #1. The way I understood this concept is by looking at the bitcoin forks, BCH BSV LTC etc. None of those are even close to btc. That confirms that btc is THE store of value because there can only be one money in this space. I get it tho you wish the cooler stuff would be adopted, it will be but just in different ways. Think in terms of the industry as a whole and how it compares to other real life economics and business. Btc is gold, people use it as a hedge. Ethereum is the internet in which applications and processes are built upon, the backbone of this space. Aave and other defi platforms are the banks. Parsiq is the NSA. RSR is USD. BAT is google chrome.

Here is the blackpill about decentralized blockchain technology.

Bitcoin is still number one because even if altcoins have 'better tech' they still suck ass at what they try to do.

Bitcoin cash, bitcoinSV, and similar cryptocurrencies can process more transactions in a block or increase the block speed, but its still not enough to run a global payment system. So its a moot advantage over bitcoin. They would all run into the same problems if they got popular enough.

Ethereum and their clones (tezos, cardano, polkadot) can do smart contracts, but the fees are outrageous and they cant yet scale in a decentralized manner. And before some retard claims their pet project CAN scale and that fees on their platform are low, realize that is only because absolutely NOBODY is using it (i.e. the highway is empty).

Also, if ethereum is shit, the tokens that rely on ethereum to work, are also therefore useless.

As such, the only worthwhile use case in crypto is the 'digital gold' angle. Bitcoin slow to use, and has high fees for small transactions. But that doesnt matter if you are simply holding bitcoin as a long term investment. Bitcoin is a deflationary asset with proven 10 year history behind it. If you live in Lebanon, argentina, turkey, or venezuela owning bitcoin is your way of protecting your wealth. If you are scared of the US government debasing the dollar, BTC is worth it. If you want to diversify your assets, BTC is worth it.

Until SOMEBODY drops the bullshit and finds out a way to scale fucking blockchains, BTC will be king.

Thanks for actually answering, this is the only reason I can think of, that it's simply because it's the first. The comparison to TCP/IP is a good one. I just don't know if that's going to be enough long term for it to remain dominant, but certainly seems to be for now anyway.

But bitcoin is building a consensus, it is making a new tradition, and institution is being built before our eyes
And in terms of a tradition (a consensus across time) the one that has been the biggest the LONGEST is the best, hence older = better

Just like most genetic mutations are cancerous and misadaptive, so too have most shitcoins died out.

This is very true. Intrinsic theory of value is bunk, and is rightly discarded by modern economists. Anyone saying Bitcoin has no intrinsic value is making such a bad argument against it I almost suspect that person of being a Bitcoin maxi.

A much better angle with which to attack Bitcoin is to focus on the relative fragility of digital network effects, Bitcoin's relative lack of real-world utility compared to alternatives, on digital scarcity being quite a silly concept, on the risk of growing sovereign hostility, or on the present risk of the tether counterfeiting scheme blowing up and taking a nice chunk of bitcoin with it.

The later point is why I'm sitting out of the whole crypto market arm. The former points are why I intend to get back in when the maxis are all roping, but not to Bitcoin.

But even if this were to be a mass phenomenon and people that buy Bitcoin will eventually some day buy alts, why would you ever wait for that? Bitcoin is the gateway into crypto. All the new money that goes into crypto goes into Bitcoin first and maybe eventually later trickles down to alts. The money flowing away from Bitcoin and into alts would need to be greater than new money coming in to beat Bitcoin. 99% of people are not into crypto. 99% of people's money still has to go through Bitcoin before alts see any of that.

They're waiting because they need to put a comprehensive system in place to try to keep a lid on as many commodities as possible before moving strongly against crypto.

Again, you're significantly over-estimating the knowledge base of the average normie. Most know absolutely nothing about how investing works. It's something exclusively for "rich people".

It's never okay for the government to prey on the uninformed. People should be able to live normal uninteresting lives without worrying about an invisible hand dipping into their pocket and stealing their rightful property.

if you can't come up with a real value proposition here then i don't see how bitcoin can fetch such a high price in a "free market". it must be that bitcoin is covertly promoted and "backed" (by way of its promotion and resulting liquidity) by some group of people.

i do not trust it, because it serves no real purpose. now is it a bad investment compared to altcoins? that's a different question. perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. i'm certainly not very confident in bitcoin due to its technical design, and most of it, like most crypto, is unaccounted for.

This is an interesting idea. If I get the time I might look into that. I only bring it up because I believe people are confusing high IQ with outlier IQ. Sure someone with a high 100-130 IQ can excel in the sciences (especially today with little to no entrance barrier these days, not unlike the internet...but I digress)
compare the population and occupation mean. and you will see that 99.9% of the people presented to you as "high IQ" are usually anywhere between 100-130. There are rare outliers beyond this, but they usually suffer such lack of instinctual behavior that they cannot function socially, so you hear little of them.

the standards have slipped is all I am trying to impress. outlier IQ (130+) is no longer a requisite for an academic career, and we have substituted ~120 IQ individuals to this role.

The occupations I listed are those becoming of a 120 IQ, this is historically accurate and any perceived deviation from this is purely social. We could argue all day on why that seems to be the case.

Just to clarify with your examples, a high school science teacher in 1950 might well have had a 120iq because being a high school science teacher meant you were smaller then the general population. Today you might only need an iq of 105 for the same profession, because life in general has moved on and most professions require more brainpower on average than they did in 1950. The 105iq teacher in 2020 isn't any less intelligent than the 120iq teacher in 1950 though.

That's unironically why btc will always remain just a speculative asset as opposed to an actual medium of exchange (i.e. a genuine currency). Think of it as the great man theory of history just applied to the financial system.

And OP is right that there are other vehicles that have more solid design fundamentals for facilitating transactions and may end up being adapted for transactions with an underlying good or service.

this is correct relatively speaking. What you are inferring is that roles that require high levels of cognition are no longer reserved to those with high levels of ability. This is perhaps for technological or social reasons, but from my perspective if the scale of cognitive abilities remains somewhat constant in so far as the testing remains consistant, my point stands that there is a shift in cognitive ability to occupation. The part you all seem to be missing is; what happens to the outlier high IQ individuals as this scale shifts? Is there perhaps a correlation between this shift and the lack of originality and innovation we see today? where everything is just a reiteration of the same things?

'We do not posses the ability to reconstruct the pyramids today' is a phrase I hear a lot.

>in what way does another pow-based crypto currency, say litecoin, differ from btc?
Litecoin has less hash power so it's cheaper to attack. The only thing crypto offers is secure a ledger and Bitcoin does that better than any other crypto.

It's covered in this thread and anywhere that talks about crypto. Why do you braindead faggots come here spouting shit without the slightest clue what you're talking about? Do you go into forums about programming language development and start ranting about how useless assembly language is now that python exists?

>what the fuck does that even mean?
Why not read up on it before you offer your expert advice on things you don't know the meaning of? It's the only fucking reason why I or anyone else was interested in Bitcoin when it came out. The only thing that actually matters is the the thing you dismiss with a shrug. The possibilities that a trustless secure ledger offers are endless. Replacing the corrupt banking system while eliminating most forms corruption currently takes is just a small start.
>silver is "better"
Silver is not a trustless digital ledger. I can't program interactions with your silver holdings or use a public address as proof of funds. You can't move your millions in silver as easily but it's relatively easy to confiscate or steal. It has an infinite supply. It's used by industry so the price is correlated with all kinds of industries you may not want to indirectly invest in.

Yeah, my point is the supposedly 168iq to anon literally didn't understand how iq scoring works. I'm not talking about what it measures in taking about the fact it's based off deviations from the average, not objective measurement. He seems to think a 120iq taken in one place and time directly correlates with a 120iq in another, which isn't the case. I have a feeling he's still not going to understand though.

explain to me how more intelligent people entered the average pool since the 1950's to account for this. All indicators trend to a lower level of cognitive ability on average amongst the population due to heavy genetic load, immigration from low average IQ nations and many other reasons.

How has the average cognitive ability increased to the point that the average cognitive individual is able to perform highly cognitive functions? This is a drastic shift 120 > 105 average, so where did all the extra cognitive function come from?

those are interesting question finally...
there is two possible answers: 1 never stops increasing but won't reach significant adoption just say replaces gold.
2 it takes over all money at which point it will stabilize at 10 billion usd a coin. not that there will be usd at that point. i don't believe this 2nd habbening is likely. it's theoretical.

bitcoin will just replace gold. won't change the world one bit. won't be a revolution. won't take over shit. it will be just a better gold than gold ever was.

1 metals are heavily inflationary. gold mining output increased exponentially lately.
2 backing is an inherently centralized trustful basis. and all trust is bound to be betrayed. that much history thought us. i mean gold standard lol.
3 countries that don't mine gold would have to buy their currency from other countries? 99% of the countries don't have the right to issue a sovereign currency in accordance to their economic growth? are you fucking serious? do you understand how impossible that is? countries not having sovereignty over their money??

So lets take the teacher example.
X amount of cognitive ability is required for this role.
in 1950 it was 120, as you say. Becasue the average was less cognitive overall.
In 2020 it is 105, this supposes that the average cognitive ability is that almost that of a high school math or science teacher.

Are you saying that the average IQ is 2020 is enough to be a teacher today. It clearly is not.

Ok, so I thought it was fairly obvious the 120iq and 105iq were examples to demonstrate that iq changes over time. It's not possible to quantify the exact change in iq score in terms of cognitive ability without looking into it more than this conversation warrants. My point is the iq of the average teacher being less than it was previously, doesn't been teachers aren't as intelligent, it just means society is smarter.

Secondly, you seem to think 105 and 100 are nearly the same. They're not.

Thirdly yes, genetics influence cognitive ability, childhood nutrition also plays a huge part. IQ on the other hand is highly malleable to the point that you can train your iq to score higher in testing, which a lot of people do to get into mensa.

Also:
>Are you, by chance, a communist?
