Yeah, apple is obviously so much more valuable than bitcoin because having computers in prettier cases or phones with prettier user interfaces is incalculably more valuable than access to a provably fair and reliable financial system not captive to the global banking cartels or their crony governments. This place is really starting to depress me.

Are you seriously trying to say Bitcoin has more value than a multi-billion dollar consumer company? Lol.

  Not just any multi billion dollar consumer company, a descending and overvalued one that never really contributed anything I see as particularly worthwhile at any rate.

    That's your opinion. Many people disagree. Bitcoin hasn't contributed more to society than Apple. The wide adoption of the mouse, GUI and multitouch screens are just a few.

  Imagine reading a comment in 1995 that reads: "Are you seriously trying to say the Internet has more value than a multi-billion dollar retail company?" Bitcoin is like the Internet. It's an open protocol that changes the way we think about money, just like the Internet changed the way we thought about communication.

I'd argue there's a difference between "prettier" and "more thoughtfully designed."

  Ok, Even if this is granted, more thoughtfully designed products that exist within an already existing category and enable no entirely new abilities. A globally distributed peer to peer cryptocurrency with the characteristics bitcoin has, whether this actually is bitcoin or some other item that has the same characteristics, is an enormous game changer.
