I was pro, now against. Energy usage being one, utility and transaction speed being another. There are other crypto projects that serve multiple purposes (other than being a volatile "store of value" with faster transaction times and limited energy usage.

Outside of the lightning network, which I haven't seen become mainstream yet, I don't see bitcoin evolving to compete with the other coins out there that do a much better job.

I was also pro - Now against.

The only utility that makes any sense is the same one that originally made me pro - You can use it to buy drugs online (spent 41 bitcoin on a 1/4 of weed in the early days).

These days - I'll firmly state that it's a pyramid scheme.
