I am not grumpy but your talking points are based on an ignorance of history many people share.

I genuinely do not care if I convince you. I just don't want people to buy into people like you like they did with people who promoted the past couple of bubbles as sure things.

I understand you are a true believer and nothing I say will convince you.

As far as shorting Bitcoin? I don't expect it to implode in the next 3-6 months.

If you don't expect something to drop substantially in the next 90 days, shorting is a terrible idea.

I am not sure why I should buy a lottery ticket when I can reliably make substantial returns in other markets.

Bitcoin is ultimately intended to facilitate transactions and other crypto currency does it better.
