Bitcoiners were also generally skeptical of this. BTC and crypto often gets lumped together but many of those who prefer Bitcoin have been skeptical about stuff like this from the beginning.
Lightning Network also has some interesting capabilities & seems like it might actually evolve into something with real utility. Block is investing pretty significantly into that.
The minority of Bitcoin enthusiasts in the crypto space might turn out to be at least somewhat right. Assuming western governments don’t ban proof of work, at least.
- 0xAFFFF 4y agoBitcoin has failed as electronic cash (its intended purpose). Bitcoin has failed as a store of value. Bitcoin has failed as inflation hedge. The project is 13 years old at this point and has failed to provide any meaningful use, has failed in terms of mainstream appeal and isn't nowhere near revolutionary. All of this while being an environmental disaster, burning through electricity and producing e-waste like there's no ecological emergency. That farce needs to stop and the sooner the better.
