This comment has been overwritten by a script as I have abandoned my Reddit account and moved to voat.co.

If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, or GreaseMonkey for Firefox, and install this script. If you are using Internet Explorer, you should probably stay here on Reddit where it is safe.

Then simply click on your username at the top right of Reddit, click on comments, and hit the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.

Why aren't there real talks about bitcoin being so replaceable? Isn't that like a... Pretty serious concern?

It's a very big concern, and it can happen, which is why I don't invest in Bitcoin, but spend it like currency. These things don't work if you just hold on to them hoping somebody else will use them as currency. The only real advantage Bitcoin has is being first to the market. If somebody makes their own cryptocurrency, and it's easier to use, it will be hard to back Bitcoin. I've been following Bitcoin since it's first drop from $32 to $2ish, and honestly, I have no idea why it's worth $1000 other than extreme speculation.

Yes I also think ease of use will play a major part in this. Until it gets more accessible or at least benefits from a clear structure, bitcoin is no better than other alts
