Bitcoin is usefull as an entry point and a figurehead of the crypto world. Its fame fuels/advances other projects. It also has a historic value (first crypto currency).
What was the first computer useful for? Probably for more than bitcoin today, but its value was not its usefulness at the time.
- ausbah 6y agothe first computers were used in the study of nukes, code breaking, and filling out firing tables for artillery. the first computers did have geninuine use cases and weren't just cool looking toys or something
- needle0 6y agoI get the historical relevance and figurehead aspect, but to follow your example, nobody actually uses the early first computers (ENIAC, UNIVAC, Altair, etc.) anymore -- everyone today uses their improved descendants. Why hasn't the same happened in Crypto? Hasn't its functionality been pretty much superseded by later improved coins?
