RE: My defence of 'The guy that spent 10,000btc on two pizzas', in honour of the anniversary

What you say makes no sense..is it even an arugment? For what?

Fees went up to absurd levels (60$) In January when prices were 18-20k per Bitcoin. Now, almost all interested in Bitcoin has dissapeared and the fees are still stupid high ($1,5USD) You also remember what happend back then? People stopped transacting bitcoin and sending bitcoin because there were long queues and high fees.

People stop using it and yes, of course fees fall. So that is the normal state of Bitcoin in your opinion? No one using it. Ok. So why has it value again? Its a coin that no one uses and is scarce. Just like my shitpoopcoin :)

Its pretty obvious that you are shilling Bitcoin. You don't answer questions, but repeat some bs. There were more than 400,000 transactions per day in December, and today there are less than 200,000. So you are lying about Bitcoin usage going up. Its falling like crazy.

The normal state of Bitcoin is that it cant scale properly. Steem has zero fees and no clogged up transactions.

    Bitcoin is the new Gold it's just a store of value. It's not a competitor to Steem. "No one is using it" is logically incorrect. As I already said it has value because it's backed by people that has invested lots in it. Bitcoin doesn't need to scale. It's still scarce. Same as Gold doesn't need to be moved around.

      Ok..you just proved that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You cant compare gold to Bitcoin, because you cant create another gold 2.0. Gold IS scarce. Crypto currencies are NOT. Anyone can create them, and there are hundreds of currencies that are better than BTC.

      Sure, it has first mover advantage and proven security etc. But that is not enough. If it can't scale it will die.

      Incentive to hold gold is in history, peoples mentality and uniqueness. Bitcoin is an open source code. Don't you think gold would be worthless if some alchemist could create gold from rock for a cheap price? Of course.

      And again you dont answer questions when I point out where you are wrong. No point of discussing further.
