i generally agree with what you said in here but not completely. 99% of those who are saying something negative about bitcoin are spreading FUD and i have been around long enough to know that.
we all know the problems but only few bother to check out the solutions and see where we are on that front.

An outdated bitcoin that won't be able to compete with better coins.

and here is a good example in your own comment! you either don't understand things or are spreading FUD.

what better coins? and why are you calling them "better".
can they handle for example 1000 TPS? have they ever reached that much and remained there? so why are you calling them "better"?

of course it is easy to create huge blocks (eg 1 GB!) and lower time between them (eg 10 seconds) and then say my coin has the capacity to compete with all the fiat and crypto combined transaction per second. and never even go above 100 kB per block.
bitcoin cash is making such claims with 8 MB blocks, so do 100 other altcoins. but that doesn't make them true.

Scaling is a problem for any coin, however other coins do have better technology or innovation in other things. Bitcoin started out as a virtual currency, do you see bitcoin as a currency right now? That's the problem with it, it's not clear what it is and you can find people here and other forums arguing about it, some still call it a currency while others keep saying it's an asset, virtual gold. So which is it? Not clear. Other coins however do have clear intentions, sure most of them are garbage but there are a few that actually do what they said they would.
