I will not have to quote all these, but know that you are very wrong.
1. Predictable BTC loss is destabilizing. Every transaction includes risk of loss, meaning a greater portion of supply that is immobile will grow. No, that's not solved with divisibility. The world cannot have confidence trading it's wealth in 1 million BTC with 20 million sitting on chain immobile. If another million can suddenly wake up because an unknown pool has been hoarding them, it wrecks the market.
If it is scarce, the price will increase. Bitcoin can exist in satoshi which is the small unit.
4. It's a piece of code. It's not actual gold, AU, which is fixed on the Periodic Table as an element. There is no "AU.version3.45", and you can't copy it and turn it into ButtCoin.v2
Bitcoin is not gold. It performs better than gold since when it was created.
5. BTC has value only in it's "potential" - which creates real transient value because people want it - but that only runs until is potential declines. It's a fad. Like any pump and dump, the profit is in the sales.
Bitcoin marketcap keeps increasing in long term.
6. BTC's real profitability is through market manipulation
Holders did made profit. Bitcoin is has a market worth of over $860 billion. If you are saying the bitcoin market is manipulated, then you are saying what you do not know about.
