@@hipsonsogbo by hard we mean - hard to make more of it (there will never be more than 21mi bitcoins, and it's practically impossible to hack it). Also, its anonymity should be emphasized. No one person is "taking care" of bitcoin. It's an entity that was designed by people who cared about the idea rather than personal success.

How do you define being „better than bitcoin“? In terms of transaction fees, tps, smart contract capabilities there are countless better alternatives to bitcoin. In fact i would argue bitcoin has nothing to offer inherently. It’s established itself because of first mover advantage. In terms of practical use cases it’s certainly inferior in many ways.

My usual explanation of the state of crypto goes like this... "Crypto is not a Ponzi scheme, but INVESTING in crypto has become a Ponzi scheme"

[@gcharny8022]

100% - the fundamentals and the potential is real, the investing situation isnt

[@AbruptAvalanche]

People buying crypto as an investment isn't a ponzi scheme. There isn't any central figure lying about the returns you're getting. If you buy Bitcoin, you can always sell at whatever it currently trades at, just like any stock. It still might be a really bad investment though, don't get me wrong. An example of a real ponzi would be the crypto lending platform Celsius (maybe FTX as well, idk how that one worked). You put money into it, and it says you'll earn a certain yield. You check your balance and the number does go up over time, but behind the scenes, the money isn't actually all there. They've promised more money than they're generating, and the scheme only survives as long as people are putting in significantly more money than others are taking out.

[@E.G2492]

​@kyivkpickyivkpic1909 Exactly and at the end of the ends "poors become poorer, richs become richer" And that total opposite of what they promise!

[@god8348]

The US dollar and investing in stocks is also a Ponzi scheme where people with insider info intentionally manipulate markets into cycles as well though. Gold is a Ponzi scheme too, I get what you’re saying but bitcoin is pretty awesome and could outlive the usd. The only real ponzis are carpet pulls in shitcoins or terrible stocks imo, since most people use stocks and crypto to get more money, they intentionally want crashes to buy more, so it’s a meta market that exists outside of the fundamentals of whatever is being invested in anyways.

[@nunyabuisness21mill]

As a self identified bitcoin maximalist I like coffezillas take down on different crypto scams. He produces good content even if he doesn’t truly understand what makes bitcoin different that’s ok I think he is a net positive for bitcoin. Everything is good for bitcoin.

[@Timppa99]

Well... What makes Bitcoin different? If he or I don't understand it, why not explain?

[@AJSHOPE]

I definitely understand the difference between Bitcoin and things like it and these other random crypto currencies (even Ethereum). I'm still not sold on Bitcoin because even with its difference, it's still 100 percent trackable. For wanting decentralization a central entity would essentially have the power to know absolutely every transaction ever made without need of any sort of warrants or anything because as the saying goes "The blockchain never lies".

[@zinzander2978]

Ironically the decentralised unregulated nature is why so many people get scammed and lose their money and also why there are wild market swings. Their are good reasons centralisation and regulation came about. Their are some nefarious reasons but most of it was to reduce the amount of grifts scams and I’ll practice you see in the market. Ie regular financial markets used to look exactly like crypto markets do today

[@juliansoto2651]

@@AJSHOPE Bitcoin can be almost 100% anonymous already. Taproot, SegWit combined with TOR over the Lightning Network allows that. If you want anonymous Bitcoin transactions you should be willing to pay a higher fee on the LN, rather than direct settles on the blockchain.

[@nunyabuisness21mill]

In my opinion what makes bitcoin different than all the rest of the “crypto” scams is that it is decentralized, actually truly immutable, open source, was free and open for anyone to run before satoshi did it had almost an immaculate conception unlike anything else in history except nature itself. Nobody can stop you from spending it, from mining it, or running a node, a node is the entire copy of the blockchain from its inception my node runs so that I can verify that the bitcoin I get is legitimate. I use bitcoin I don’t sell bitcoin. There is a fundamental difference in that. The price of bitcoin doesn’t matter because I don’t value the dollar. Bitcoin is freedom money it has changed my life. I didn’t get in super early like your probably thinking I bought all the way up to 69k and all the way down to 15k. Im thrilled that bitcoin didn’t shoot to 350k like people predicted it would. I don’t have enough yet. I have a certain number of sats in mind I wanna stack and I’m not there yet. With bitcoin being finite and what our government considers money infinite there is no other choice. These are some of my thoughts on bitcoin. #onlybitcoin

[@name._..-.]

If bitcoin is ponzi then what is us dollar 🤔

[@Bit-while_going]

Bitcoin is the first anti-inflationary currency. The only way to do it was by taking out the middleman. The middleman just happens to be the government. That's not what a government is for, but they have accepted their fate as controllers of the money supply as inevitable on one side(left-wing) and by choice on the other(right-wing). So that's why the dollar must become something different and they must learn that they are no longer needed in their ill begotten niche as well. Until then, it's just their puppet and also a convenient illusion.

There is no reason to change a protocol when new technology emerge, unless it is the protocol itself you want to improve. Ironicly that is the point that most altcoiners approve on.

Here's the issue with digital currencies revolutionizing global digital exchange. I don't think it'll happen. It's not because of technology. Not all financial systems are equal. If you've ever sent money from US and Japan, you'd see the difference. It is a complete pain in the ass to transfer money from Japan to the outside world. In north america it takes a few minutes. This is because some countries restrict the amount of money you can exchange. If they make it freely exchangeable, money will leave weak financial system for stronger ones. Capital flight. If you've ever been outbid on a house by a Chinese person for 20% over the market value, you've seen this in action. They are okay with getting 80 cents on the dollar as long as they can get the money out of the country. Now make this financial transaction free and available. This will make the yuan crash look like safemoon. That's why countries won't let it happen.

I’ve rewatched a lot of what he’s said, and he didn’t guess right at all, he was just being skeptical.

@@maximusdecimusmeridius5438 yes, there is. Bitcoin is pseudonymous. You can also utilise coinjoins and there is increased privacy on the lightning network. An open ledger does equate to tyrannical levels of surveillance as it does with CBDCs. Bitcoin is king. Your fiat cash is in an unavoidable debt spiral and inherently infused with inflation and monetary policy manipulation. Try holding cash for 10+ years and see how much purchasing power you lose. Bitcoin beats everything when you measure it against other assets in terms of values of a sound money.

Bitcoin, not crypto. Nothing else is as decentralized and secure.
