What "use case" do you think bitcoin solves out of interest ? (Apart from making coin-grabbing early adopters rich)

so you really don´t know it yet? you been in this forum since sub $100 prices. you did not understand it back then, that is why you are no early investor. nothing to be ashamed of. but after 6 years and 6000 posts... i see...

how about:
permissionless, trustless, uncensorable, borderless secure and safe transfer of value.
unconfiscateable, immutable, truly decentralized and safe store of value.

lots of slick buzzphrases and matching graphic elements

I feel like I was just sold a shamwow

lol, a shamwow coin is a great idea. I'd buy one, for the hell of it.

As for the "value" of alt-coins, I believe they serve an important purpose. They are an incubator for experimental algorithms, like a large and wild ecology of untested possibilities. Most have failed, but so what, every now and then you'll get a good idea to survive. And if its good enough it can get absorbed into bitcoin.

Thus, I see the alt-coins as part of a large infrastructure beneath bitcoin.
