Seeing your avatar means you probably still don't understand #Bitcoin

Oh, I understand Bitcoin I just don't agree that it is the only path forward. And, speaking honestly, it was actually my experiences with the Bitcoin community in 2012/2013 that pushed me away from Bitcoin and into Dogecoin.
That said, we don't have to agree on every point in order for us to agree that whatever's happening out there, freeing yourself from fiat markets as much as possible is probably for the best.
You had a decade to find the absolute digital scarcity and you ended up with a dog token? Lol.
Respectfully, if you believe in decentralization but only if all of your money is in Bitcoin then you might not be as tied to the concept as you might think.
Different coins for different use cases.
I never said I was a Dogecoin maxi, only that it's my favorite coin and community.
"Away from #Bitcoin to dogecoin" pretty much says it all.
And no, holding 100 of shirtcoins because of different use cases doesn't mean "decentralized".
I got time to kill so go ahead and tell me use cases for every shirtcoin you #HODL, please.
FWIW, I primarily hold Bitcoin and Dogecoin, not that it's any of your business and neither of us have any obligation to justify our decisions.
I use Dogecoin when I want to buy something peer to peer or internationally and Bitcoin for sitting on. The other stuff is just fragments of ETH and LTC that I'll likely swap out at the next bullrun.
So the #Bitcoin community in 2012 2013 pushed you away from Bitcoin, you still #HODL it?
You said "different coins for different use cases" and now, the use case for the dog coin is a payment? Bitcoin does that already, while it's the absolute digital scarcity as well. Where are the different use cases? 👀
Are you just full of shirt?
Yes. Just because was/I am turned off by the haughty arrogance and holier-than-thou attitude of some people in the Bitcoin space and prefer the lighter and more friendly Dogecoin community does not mean that I cannot fathom the value of Bitcoin.
Like I said, where we disagree is the idea that Bitcoin is the only possible way forward.
You missed this part: you said "different coins for different use cases" and now, the use case for the dog coin is a payment? #Bitcoin already does that, while it's the absolute digital scarcity as well.
Where are the different use cases for dog coin? 👀
I have explained it in my other answer.
*very poor answer. Still waiting for the DIFFERENT use cases, lol.
Well, I have explained my rationale as much as I am going to, you're free to accept it or not.
Have a good day, man.
Well, you failed pretty miserably. If you think dog coin can be money as #Bitcoin is, every other shirtcoin out there can be too (some even faster and cheaper). And if every other shirtcoin out there is money too, how good of money your dog coin really is?
Hope you'll get that sooner rather than later.
To be clear, the yes was to your first question. I do find it interesting though that you cannot grasp the idea that someone could find value in two different approaches.
Dogecoin is a digital currency, it replenishes over time and thus is fungible.
Bitcoin is a store of value and was specifically designed to have scarcity. Lost coins are lost forever. The more rare you make something the more friction you add to its use.
There's a reason that many Bitcoiners prefer to stack sats and spend fiat - they believe that Bitcoin is too valuable to spend, making it *possible* to spend as a currency, sure, but if given the choice, many choose not to.
#Bitcoin was designed as peer to peer electronic cash system and it still is. Get your facts together.
Are you trying to say that dog coin's use case is payments? That's opposite of what you said before - "different coins for different use cases". The use case is the same as every other shirtcoin out there. In the top 100 shirtcoin by mcap, dog coin isn't even the cheapest nor fastest.
Show me the DIFFERENT use cases, please.
