Bitcoin is an energy-wasting competition masquerading as wealth. Bitcoin values are literally scores of proof for how much energy has been wasted "finding" and then trading it around, which wastes more energy.

But then people will also waste energy and throw real money into NFTs, hats, cosmetics, virtual spaceships... Bitcoin is just more of the same. An exploitation of some primitive human brain fart for percieved status in a rigged game.

Bitcoin's killer feature is speculation for the stupidity of people. What small cryptographic utility it might ever have is eclipsed by the illusion of currency and investment. It is a marketable enigma.
