Ethereum has an unlimited supply.
Xrp is pre-mined and run by one company...
Dogecoin has nowhere near the usage of Bitcoin (to the extent that Bitcoin needs to be 'used')
and Solana? It's a giant air-token for memecoins.
People are buying 'all of them' because they don't know any better. And Bitcoin has only been around ~ 15 years - look at the vast majority of 'alts' relative to Bitcoin they are all down and to the right over a multi-year time period.
Bloomberg never mentions Bitcoin. And 'most people' still think it's some kind of ponzi... or 'magic internet money'. Nobody outside of the Stackers and Devs has even heard of Lightning.
It needs time.
Yea, I agree.
But I think that time can be greatly shortened if this were handled more like a revolution than an episode of Sesame Street. If the people calling the dollar a shitcoin put their money where their mouth is and began doing everything possible to stop using dollars. If Bitcoiners started going out of their way to patronize merchants accepting Bitcoin, and boycotting those who don't. It really wouldn't "need time" if the revolutionaries started acting like revolutionaries.
@Aardvark just mentioned how the USD is the greatest shitcoin of all: #951426. Yet, I'll bet he and the stackers zapping his comment are all going to go out and use USD today without flinching. USD is more of a shitcoin than ETH, XRP, or Doge.... and yet Bitcoiners use it more than they use Bitcoin. So, what does it matter if Bitcoin is more decentralized, no pr-mine, or isn't a meme coin? If it's not doing anything, then it doesn't really matter how much better it is.
It shouldn't take much time. But it does take gumption.... virtue.... sacrifice.
