people buy bitcoin because they have the belief that the price will go up, and they can sell it for more than they bought it for. since it has no use and no value, there's no reason for the price to go up, except when new buyers are duped into raising the price. If people didn't believe that the price of bitcoin would go up, then no one would buy it. The scheme only continues as long as more and more people are tricked into believing the price will go up.

You can't even transfer one satoshi because of the transaction fee. Bitcoin costs money to mine and it costs money for miners to verify transactions.

the demand for bitcoin is a bit inorganic that even if we proposed to print 1 extra bitcoin a year people would give up on it. to me it shows the coin has no use. if it was useful then predictable inflation wouldnt be much of a problem. but the problem is that bitcoin isnt fungible like monero. bitcoin should solve its scalability, decentralization, and fungibility. but that would possibly require changing the sacred cow of the whitepaper
