Bitcoin and its long term value

I get your point. But out of all the terms you mentioned only one is true: and that is when someone gets my 10 phrase key.
There are multiple currencies which are not based on "network fees" but still are working on a blockchain, and they are faster than your usual bank transaction and can handle way more payments at the same time than current banking systems can. I am not saying I support it to replace it, but if it does: it only has benefits.

Just imagine it from another standpoint: You still pay with your creditcard (or debit card, whatever) but back end everything is running decentralized and faster and more reliable, that's something, as of now, is only possible due to blockchain technology. It's about the blockchain technology, and not about the coin. So the "wallet" is not what I am referring to, more like a decentralized banking experience.

Crypto is not going anywhere anytime soon, but...
Bitcoin for retirement, it's a no.
Buying now its an headshot, speculation exist, it was a must when on 3k, now dont do it, because it going to fall hard.
BTC grows with "darknet" business and anonymous label, if they loose that, its crash overnight.

Think it's gonna hit at least 50k ngl

BTC is used what it's meant for... yes. people use it for investing. but more people use it to send and receive payments.. as well as holding it because why the fuck would you want to hold it in a bank with shit interest rates.

But they will never lose that. lol?

More and more people and companies now accept bitcoin purely because it's much better than accepting any other payment options. Bitcoin will survive without the dark net. even though the darknet will NEVER go away and it's just going to keep getting bigger.

Alt coins

As a customer (not a crypto nerd) all these back end things don't actually matter. Think about the average Joe buying a phone or a computer. I only met people who buy laptops based on its look. Only hard core gamers and comp nerds care about stats. As long as the speed feels reasonable (which I believe most people feel tapping your card to pay, and getting the approved message time length is reasonable), the customer could literally care less.

Once you've been in crypto for a decade, you'll see how useless it is, with the exception of all the anonymity (which lets you gamble/buy things without age restrictions) and all its pump and dumps. Trust me, everything you say, I once believed too. I bet you, somewhere on MPGH I probably wrote the same thing. Its been over 12 years and it still hasn't proven itself to be a currency. I literally remember a phase everyone saying it will replace money. Then once the post-2017 dump happened, everyone saying it will replace gold

Bitcoin is losing all it's anonimity as wallets (online) require ID verification it's become really lame

They will. More and more exchange companies are getting ID to exchange BTC. And BTC only works if you have exchange, the coin itself dont worth anything.
Not even talking in exchange fees and bla, bla.
And Crypto cant be on the real market, you can see online market, but not on real.
You cant sell a car worth 30k at 11am, going lunch and at 14pm lose all your money, because btc fall into 2k, thats not how economy can work, not trusty.
You see people making business with BTC, but BTC in not the business, exchange is.

But if businesses are accepting it, then they obviously understand the concept of it and know its not a short term thing.

We also won't lose the darkweb because everyone selling on the darkweb are already money laundering successfully despite kyc and all that.

Exactly. that's why you go balls deep in alts* instead
