Bitcoin's blockchain is not scalable, but there is Lightning, which can give Bitcoin more "currency" traits.

  That has literally nothing to do with what I'm saying. Nobody except for weird techno-idealists actually value crypto in any terms other than it's equivalency to actual money.

    The cat is out of the bag, pandora's box is open, thank God with a capital G Bitcoin us unbannable. The separation of money and state will bring us better stability, less war, eliminate people like Chavez and Putin from the world, etc etc etc.

      How will separation of money and state eliminate people like Putin?

        Maybe not eliminate them, but they won’t be able to use the money printer as they please, effectively funding things like forever wars.

          ...do you understand how money works, you can't just "use the money printer" to fund wars what are you talking about

            Sorry, are you asserting that there's one correct theory for "how money works" ? Where does money come from according to you?

            How does a country fund wars? Through issuing bonds, and then inflating the money supply so as to dilute the amount to pay back.

    Given its higher and higher long-term prices, it seems more and more people value it. What are you saying? It is not widely used enough for day-to-day transactions?
