So saying that "Bitcoin is a protocol" is a bit like saying "Gold is a metal" - i.e. true but not very relevant to its potential monetary function.
So by your definition Satoshi created Bitcoin to serve as a base monetary unit for all the other altcoins? Either I got it wrong either it doesn't have any logic.
Most above points are interconnected. Bitcoin fails in most points.
Ok. Bitcoin is dead. Move along tard!
