btc is still a project.
it is going into the wrong direction.
no privacy and statism is the wrong direction. if it has no privacy and no returns, why should anyone hold it? confiscation is very silly argument, at least in the usa.
btc gets outperformed by most tech shares and by many other more modern cryptocurrencies. compare performance in the last 5 years, 3 years and 2 years.
?Outperformed by which tech shares exactly? Only NVIDIA performed better for a short time, no longer the case. Then you have btc related shares like Microstrategy, Riot, Mara, Block which performed better depending on when you entered. Beside that there is absolutely nothing that has performed better if you hold it 5-10 years.
I want to make the point again, monero gets constantly developed you say, and there are returns (also there is no cap btw). These 3 attributes you would want for a torrent, real estate, software etc., but you definitely shouldn’t want it for money! Please have a look at the roots, mechanics and history of money, how one by one have failed due to overprinting it and by loosing to more sound/solid new money types.
Rocks, pearls, muscles, salt, fiat currencies… this will show you that you want your protocol to be stable and un changeable and nothing else.
