Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻
El Salvador passed a law forcing the government there to promote Bitcoin using compelled taxpayer money. Today, Bitcoin's price completely revolves around what the US president says about it on any given day. So much for Bitcoin being some kind of hedge against governments

.Yes.. leaders of governments have been elected by the people and they have discretion regarding how to spend public (tax payer) money, [...]

LOL, so is that what you are going to say when popular sentiment around Bitcoin turns negative, and governments outlaw Bitcoin instead, and send the price down 95%?
You live and die by what governments do now. So much for Bitcoin being some kind of hedge against government control. Now the price is dictated by the US president, which is control you handed to them voluntarily in exchange for pumping your investment portfolio.
Y'all area cheap date

I agree it has grown, but I think new products are only just starting to take hold.
You sound like a marketer, and sure maybe you are correct and maybe not. I personally believe it is way better to figure out some kind of a bitcoin plan (and to execute it) instead of getting distracted into supposedly new products that you believe are the next best thing.. blah blah blah. I imagine that your own product (shitcoin) is in the mix of "great" products that you consider to be better than sliced bread (and bitcoin too).
Inventing "some kind of bitcoin plan" is not going to change its basic nature, which is slow and expensive by design.

Imagine saying, in about 1986, that General Motors will always be the biggest company in the world because... they are the biggest company in the world. The biggest one always always stays the biggest, they said.
Well, that's not always the case. Perhaps this is why Bitcoiners are now trying to get governments to use force and compel citizens to stop using other products--because they are losing in the free market.

Bitcoin is a protocol not a company, and to me it seems that governments, institutions, rich people are coming to bitcoin rather than bitcoin going to them..
Individual Bitcoin holders are organizing to support political candidates who promise to use taxpayer money to increase the price of Bitcoin. These are governments who are being bought off with campaign donations.

(That said, what most Bitcoiners missed about the 2024 US elections is that the major donors, under the guise of "Bitcoin", were actually brokers and non-Bitcoin makers who have a financial interest in hawking their own products over Bitcoin: the actually Bitcoin community just get conned, I think ).
).Sure.. Trump has a lot of shitcoiner ideas, and a decent number of shitcoiners around him, so it could be interesting to see the extent to which shitcoining and/or bitcoining comes out through whatever governmental acts might be communicated [...]
"Live by the sword, die by the sword" is the old saying. Bitcoiners begged the government to come help them make money, and now everything revolves around what the government does.

In the long run, the winner of the digital currency wars will be the product(s) with the most individual users. There's no way that ends up being Bitcoin since it simply doesn't scale.

I am glad that you have bitcoin-related matters figured out...or at least you believe that you do (to the extent that you are even being truthful in your ongoing nonsense.. it can be difficult to believe that you even believe your own ongoing nonsensical proclamations).
Right back at y'all. You are surely a Bitcoin maxi's maxi. Every other product on the planet that is not Bitcoin is "shit". Very impressive consistency, I guess
