That's just your opinion. My opinion is that every dollar, euro and yen that stored outside the current financial system is being safely utilised in the bitcoin store of value.

I'm tired of this perspective. Just because you "feel" people are in bitcoin for "the wrong reason" doesn't make it bad. Similarly if people start buying electric vehicles because they are faster than gas cars

>It offers AFAIK the fastest transactions with NO FEES. Is it not obvious to you that no fees is a ridiculous proposition? Free transactions mean spam and that doesn't work in a distributed ledger.

If cars moved to mobility as a service model instead of car ownership people wouldnt care about getting into a small two seater car instead of owning a four seater for the times they do need it. You could probably fit six autonomous smartca
