  • It dominates because it’s the one that everyone knows. If you’re lucky enough to find a shop that accepts crypto it’s almost certain that the crypto they accept is bitcoin and bitcoin only. despite its flaws it is a proven technology. It might 3 hours to send an on chain payment but you don’t have to worry about a technical glitch dropping it.

    I somewhat agree about it being not great though. it has serious scalability issues that were supposed to be addressed by lightning but lightning adds a lot of complexity imo. My grandma is never going to be able to figure out how to use lightning whilst still being able to benefit from a self custody wallet.

    A lot of the newer coins that crypto bros bang on about seem to be centralized under private entities, “regulation friendly” and not distributed.

    i have a little tablet in my pocket that gives me access to the sum total of all human knowledge and can contact anyone else more or less anywhere on/around the planet for instant voice communication.

    We can take organs out of dead people and put them in living people and have them survive.

    I can be anywhere on the planet within 48 hours

    We have cars that can drive themselves

    We have robots being controlled live(ish) on mars

    We have planes that can stay airbourne indefinately

    And there’s many more examples
