Perhaps so, but that’s not an argument. Bitcoin needed to be the basis of a new financial system, as per its creator’s desires.
Bitcoin doesn’t have the properties of money, due to the fact that Core refuses to adopt a private ledger via, despite Satoshi explicitly expressing saying that “a much better, easier, more convenient implementation of Bitcoin would be possible” if ring signatures/ledger privacy could effectively be implemented.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770.msg8637#msg8637Bitcoin is not fungible, it does not have the properties of money, so it cannot chase away “non-monetary” use cases. Because it doesn’t have significant monetary use cases anymore. The fee market is a ghost town.
Refusing a sustainably viable fee economy when you don’t have any other economy is far more retarded than I may be.
