Everyone has a few. What are yours?

My main ones are - unit bias has held back BTC's progress in the mind of the public.

Bitcoin will never see widespread use as a currency.

95-99.5% of the world does not want to be their own bank. And a decent proportion who do want to be, should not be.

"Bitcoin will never see widespread use as a currency. " seriously you have been on the forums for how long??? This isn't even an opinion its a fact that bitcoin is being used and is widespread.

"95-99.5% of the world does not want to be their own bank. And a decent proportion who do want to be, should not be." so you hav spoken to 95-99.5% of the world have you? You know what people want more then they do? Tells us more.

My unfashionable opinions about bitcoins are:
1. It can not be used as a replacement of regular fiat currency due to high fee and network load. There are other crypto currency that can do this job better.
2. Better to use it as a store of value than a regular currency
3. No matter how much we deny, it actually helps criminal to stay under the radar.

"No matter how much we deny, it actually helps criminal to stay under the radar." same can be said amount social media and phedophiles. Hell lets just blame the internet entirely while we at it. No matter how much how you deny it the internet/guns and many other things help criminals.

"2. Better to use it as a store of value than a regular currency" look up the word currency.

My unpopular opinions:
1.Bitcoin is only a bunch of code and the creation of that code (mining)wastes electricity.
2.The only incentive about using bitcoin is the possibility of a future price increase.
3.People will never fully adopt bitcoin,because they want to be slaves of the government protected banks.(it keeps their false sense of security)

Banks also have a server that runs all day long to handle their transactions. Saying bitcoin mining wastes electricity is like saying a lock on your door wastes money.
