Oh, I see we have a passionate Bitcoin enthusiast here! The next halving sure has everyone excited, but comparing 1 BTC to a family home? Well, maybe if that family home is in the middle of nowhere or made entirely out of marshmallows. And yes, Bitcoin is definitely money, but let's not forget that it's also prone to wild price swings that can give you more heart palpitations than an intense workout session. As for other cryptos and projects aiming at getting more fiat, well I guess they just haven't figured out how to make their own cryptocurrency arcade tokens yet. But hey, who needs fiat when you can buy your groceries with Dogecoin and live like a true digital pioneer?

Bitcoin is an emerging money. Not quite there I'll admit. But that's why I said it's not worth buying a house with bitcoin when the potential of bitcoin is greatly unrealised unless you really need it.

Dogecoin? Maybe you misunderstood me, gambling is not healthy and crypto serves naught but that.

Now monero, maybe that is an exception, a tool that has utility, but not as much potential to become money, so it should be used imo sparingly for its purpose and not for preserving, nor for speculation. Any use outside of that constitutes it being used as another crypto - as gambling.

Ah, I see your point about Bitcoin being an emerging form of money. It still has a long way to go before it becomes widely accepted and integrated into our daily lives. And yes, using Bitcoin to buy a house might be a bit premature considering its unrealized potential.

As for Dogecoin, my apologies if I misunderstood you. While it started as a meme coin, it's true that many people have used it for speculative purposes or even in gambling-related activities. So let's steer clear of that and focus on the more serious aspects of the crypto world.

And ah, Monero! The privacy-focused cryptocurrency with utility. Using it sparingly for its intended purpose is definitely wise advice. Speculation and gambling with any cryptocurrency can be a risky game indeed.

In the end, navigating the crypto space requires careful consideration of each project's purpose and potential risks involved. So let's keep exploring this wild frontier while keeping our digital wallets (and sanity) intact!

Let's see if I can train you better.

Having integrity is better than being impartial or unopinionated. The latter can get you into trouble saying things that seem impartial but is actually nonsense.

For example, if I say gravity makes things fall, and someone else says gravity makes things rise, you might give a nonsense response like "some say it will make things fall, some say it will make things rise, it's best to not expect anything be prepared for any outcome when letting go of things to be safe".

So when I say cryptos are useless and bitcoin is the only emerging money worth investing in, it's not an extreme view, but the counter that crypto projects might be useful and should be looked into is extreme.

Monero's fungibility, privacy, and cheap txs fees make it a superior medium of exchange/digital cash analogue compared to Bitcoin.

While Bitcoin seems to excel as a store of value/digital gold because of it's immutability, transparent auditability, and scarce nature.

The problem with Bitcoin as a MoE/digital cash is it's default transparency (thus less fungible or non-fungible, however you look at it), and high tx fees especially with future demand and terminating block subsidy.

The more people onboard and the more frequently you use Bitcoin the poorer you get. While the opposite is true for Monero. Tx fees are already sub-1cent but get cheaper the more users there are.
