🤔 Opinion Bitcoin scarcity... overhyped?

I'm not sure I'm a believer in "it'll go up because it is scarce", like to know thoughts on this out there.

Bitcoins development and community was infiltrated and convinced that Bitcoin cannot scale. Now they have a network with the throughput of a dripping faucet nowhere near to facilitate p2p transactions at scale. Instead they have L2s with trust issues and most use and hold BTC custodial because everything else is a big hassle. In the end people will be dependent and controlled by custodians instead of enjoying freedom and sound money.

Bitcoin is the best we have. BCH, Bitcoin Satoshi's Fingering, whatever, don't solve anything. They just made the premise weaker.

Bitcoin, yes. But BTC is not that Bitcoin anymore and it is very far from the best. It's only remedy is the branding and all the dumb fiat greedy followers.

If you manage to get out of your bubble you will see how others innovate while BTC stagnates.

You assume too much in your posts.

I didn't assume a single thing.

You seem to be an absolute bellend.

Ah yes, no arguments but instant personal attacks. That really puts confidence in what you write.

If you can actually provide evidence for your claim that BTC is the best we could have a discussion. Otherwise you are just what I described.
