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.
True for anything masquerading as "crypto", but Bitcoin moved past potential years ago (or perhaps, realised many of its potential uses), Ask any of its users (and no I don't think traders/speculators qualify for the question) what they use Bitcoin for. It's not potential but real-world utility. Least, that's how it's been for me for the majority of years since 2016.
In my case, I don't just want Bitcoin. I need it to make earning a living possible.
Bitcoin isn't even about "it can". It simply does.
