I'm seeing more and more new people to crypto parroting the mantra that Bitcoin is old tech and needs to die.
Yes btc is to some extent old tech and yes there are faster, cheaper blockchains. But newbies and even some veterans need to be careful cause if enough people think something then it tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Problems that come with taking btc away as root of cryto are really not known. I suggest to you nothing good will come from it and crypto needs btc as a solid reserve currency of sorts and most gains people have made in alts are due to btc rise. Take Bitcoin away from top slot and I think crypto becomes unstable. IMO.
Bitcoin is really not that old and the only thing that separates Bitcoin from the so called newer cryptos is that they have larger block size which in turn makes their transactions faster and cheaper and thats it, When Bitcoin Core increases it's block size they will not be having any advantage over Bitcoin Core anymore.
