Not sure where you're from, how good your English is, or if I just don't get it, but... I think it should read "You can't tell me that's a crackhead?"

Have you tried Monero? Litecoin? Bitcoin Cash? Those methods have channels open for everyone all the time.

Or you can keep tinkering with that turbo on your old Model T.

Real question: if bitcoiners are hodling because Bitcoin's value in fiat is going to the moon, what is the point of this meme? What is the perspective I'm not understanding?

Litecoin (100% uptime, built in fungibility)has a third party? It's a cut & paste of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Cash has third parties?

Bitcoiners consistently claim that Bitcoin is the only this or the only that; fully decentralized, limited supply, blah, blah, blah. It's simply not true.

What Bitcoin is, in fact, is deliberately crippled and put in a wheelchair so third parties can get paid to push it around and let it function like it did when it was healthy. Bitcoin and it's third party (L2, L3) solutions are convoluted, overly complicated technologies.

Bitcoin when it arrived on the scene - faster & cheaper than a bank, no third party.

Lightning Network - we'll make bitcoin faster & cheaper than a bank. We (you) are the third party.

CashU / FediMint - Bitcoin is the best! Use Bitcoin with our awesome third party solution.

Oh, yeah, and all of your transactions are traceable. Need to pay someone 0.003 BTC from your 2 BTC wallet? Expect a thug to come meet you soon.

VS Litecoin

All of the features of Bitcoin x 4, PLUS fast, cheap, fungible, private, secure, expandable, 100% uptime.

Conclusion:

Enjoy your bitcoin, love it for the amazing(ly) slow, cumbersome behemoth it is. But don't lie to yourself that it is the only contender. It's fiat value (the only reason it is king), has more in common with MySpace than it does with gold. Gold has immutable physical properties, bitcoin (and all crypto) is software...just like AOL, MySpace, et al.

So, how many years until there is no more bitcoin? And on that journey to none, do you factor in the likelyhood of centralized consolidation by the wealthy and powerful?

Does this include scarecity caused by the creation of useless dust caused by high fees?

Someone told me similar wprds years ago. It took a few more years, but I got really good at starting things. Now I've got a couple dozen projects that need finishing!

Just get some and use it!

How many books did you read before getting into bitcoin? Before opening a bank account? Before buying groceries?

Jump in and play with the rest of us!
