| > Bitcoin solved ... Its inventors came up with a solution to it, sure, and that is innovative. It's inelegant, it's massively wasteful, but as a technical curiosity it's certainly interesting. > Thus, bitcoin invented thermodynamically secured property rights Fucking LOL. You say that as if it tapped into the laws of physics themselves, when actually a quantum computer could cause havoc here. It's using mathematics to achieve consensus, not writing data into the fabric of the universe, and as with all of your other points, it's just first mover advantage again. All of the other cryptocurrencies do the same. > Bitcoin provides a decentralized trustless source of truth No, it provides consensus, not truth. > Bitcoin is a strong base layer Exactly the same as its clones, forks and children. > and none of the other cryptos do that because they're not nearly as widely adopted. They do exactly the same. Adoption is a matter of degree, not absolute. > Bitcoin mining is also incentivising and paying for the production of clean renewable energy No, no it isn't. Bitcoin mining is filthy and getting worse. We don't need more incentives for green energy, the world is already full of those. Bitcoin mining, on the other hand, uses dirty coal in Kazakhstan. > No other crypto is doing those things. EVERY other cryptocurrency is doing EXACTLY those same things. It's all just brand recognition. |
