More seriously now, while I love a lot of bitcoin's fundamentals (self sovereignty, fixed supply, decentralized, rules can't be changed by administrators at a whim), there are other things I dont like (infinitely increasing ledger, too much transparency, transaction rate is very slow, requirement of huge energy input to maintain, and now it is a political lever). As the first mover, it has first mover advantage. But after bitcoin came a thousand other blockchains, most of them tokens or currencies. Are really none of them better? Am I to believe nobody was able to improve on bitcoin? I admit ignorance, but I remain a skeptic and open minded about what you all call "shitcoins". Please don't hate me, I came here to fix censorship not money and fixing money is not my area of expertise. I'm just still not interested in joining this cult at this time, I'll keep watching from just ouside... and that conference made me even less interested.
