Bitcoin has been around longer than the iPhone. When it started I think we were all still in Windows XP.

If Bitcoin hasn’t yet discovered a killer app, when will it?

But yeah yeah, it took tens of thousands of years between humans seeing lightning start fires and the charcoal grill… if it took that long, I'm sure it will be tens of thousands of years before Bitcoin finds a use. Better keep buying and holding!

> Bitcoin has been around longer than the iPhone

Bitcoin was released in 2009. The iPhone was released in 2007.

Well, it was pretty early days: Bitcoin was released a few months after the iPhone got an app store, and a few months before the iPhone got copy & paste functionality.

Comparing Bitcoin to the iphone is disingenuous. It's more like a pager. It took over ~50 years to get from the pager to the iphone.

That’s kind of like saying “the Nokia brick phone has been around forever, if it hasn’t discovered a killer app, when will it?”

Bitcoin was just the first blockchain to really find adoption, it’s nowhere near where 99% of the innovation in crypto is happening today. Far more interesting projects that are providing actual value today.

Nobody mentioned bitcoin except you

So its an unproductive assumption
