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.

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

I think i’ve had a stroke

you can set up a local instance of stable diffusion for free if you have the hardware to run it, a lot of training data is also free.

Don’t do this with it though
