Let's have this fun conversation today 😁 assuming BTC is just entering the space today and was never released in 2009 will BTC succeed like what it has come to be today? Assuming ETH was the first coin and we have every other coins like doge and xrp then BTC now come out in 2022 what do you think will happen?
I think that if Bitcoin appeared only in 2022, it would not as popular as it is now, it would never become the first cryptocurrency. It has too old and slow technologies, there are many blockchains that offer faster, cheaper, more scalable and more private solutions. What is more, it doesn't support smart-contracts so considering it just as a currency, it is unfashionable.
