    People are explaining why and how they become non-believers of cryptos:



    As for me, I don't like lies and ponzis. Bitcoin is nothing what they originally claimed it to be, not anonymous, not unique, etc. Since the last 4 or so years ago when it finally took off, the new rallying cry has been: it is a store of value. Right, so is my beanie baby, you should see my collection.

    Satoshi is spinning in his gra... I mean vault. :)

    All it takes for something to become a store of value is time, and availability.

    elderly folks don't like BTC.
    because we can't see clearly those numerous digits.

    Just imagine you have to pay for a cup of coffee
    with 0.0000000235 BTC !!!!

    For everyone that brings the tired old trope of Bitcoin is a waste of energy.

    Why are you picking on Bitcoin?

    Why have I never heard anyone bring up the massive energy use of online porn, the War on Terror, the War of Drugs, all the wars that never seem to end, selfies, millions and millions of celebrity news articles and tv shows, video games, 500+ TV channels and on and on.

    Yes, Bitcoin uses a lot of energy and that's a good thing if you understand Bitcoin. But please, if you're that worried about excess energy use, try to focus on far more useless things that use far more energy than Bitcoin ever did.
