People like to say that bitcoiners are speculators, gamblers etc. But what is not owning Bitcoin?

It’s betting that fiat money, a system devised by bankers and politicians for their own benefit, it the superior form of money, and that it will win on a free market of currencies.

I’m sure somebody will reply hurr durr, I don’t own fiat, I own stocks, property, things that yield returns, yadda yadda. Well guess what, then you already don’t trust fiat money.

    People still rather use dollars for convenience

    Nobody ever claimed bitcoin is the dominant payment network, you’re just stating a truism.

    Bitcoin cash seems also to support my idea that you would need larger block sizes.

    bcash: $245.45

    bitcoin: $30135.00

    That tells you how much bcash matters and how right their ideas are.
