What is the purpose of Bitcoin as it is now?

Ugh, here we go with the maximalism right?

No, I’ve been in the space since 2015. and it is without a doubt the most difficult cryptocurrency I know. It’s slow and costly during very-high transaction volume.

Yes, lightning will fix that but have you ever set-up a node? What a pain in the fucking ass.

I can use literally any other crypto, have my money in less than half the time, and have my transaction verified and confirmed more times, than what it would be with Bitcoin... Seriously all you gotta do is try pulling out BTC or ETH at an ATM, If you’ve ever even tried, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

Ethereum transactions often get more confirmations in a far shorter time period, and yet people still want to try and argue “tHaT DoESn’t mAKe iT SeCuRe!”

Whatever...!

You can try to deny it all you want, Bitcoin is inefficient.

Secure? Sure! Convenenient? No.

End of story.
