10 years. 100% uptime. (Bitcoin can't claim that)

Decentralized. No country, no company, no one can manipulate it or shut down it's network.

Optional transaction privacy. Receiver of money doesn't see what is in senders wallet.

In every Bitcoin ATM around the world.

Less than 2 cents per transaction.

The 3rd most used crypto network on a daily basis (actual $/value transferred on the network).

Even with the Lightning Network, Bitcoin can only EVER serve a few million users a month. At only 7tps and moving money in and out of lightning uses a layer 1 transaction, simple math shows it could NEVER act as a worlds "currency" on it's own in a world of 8 billion.

No 3rd world county will ever use a centralized currency for it's legal tender. Centralized currencies can be shut down by another government/organization. If countries are to eventually use crypto as legal tender they will either have to use their own chains, or use decentralized. Decentralized networks protect users from governments seizing their funds for any reason. There are very very few crypto currencies that can work along side of Bitcoin. Yet this subreddit absolutely hates it, because it's boring.
