I think its high time we recognize bitcoin for the failure it is. I mean it was created ostensibly as a response to the perceived instability of reserve banking such as the fed. But it is far more unstable. There are many reasons for Bitcoin to be as unstable as it, including but not limited to, the fact that it is not a currency but a commodity, it lacks liquidity, its fungibilty is a huge problem, and the concept of PoW is incredibly flawed. The only thing keeping the experiment running is the village people who are afraid to admit they aren't as pure in their libertarian ideology if they admit that the emperor is fucking naked.
- viklove 7y agoI don't think anything has been proven yet, and it won't be unless Bitcoin is widely adopted at some point. The naysayers calling it a failure are as misguided as the fanatics who claim it's going to replace gold. We just don't have enough data yet.
