What about BCH? It seems like a reasonable solution still in the running


BCH solved one of BTC's fatal flaws (transaction rate) but all the other fatal flaws like volatility, irrevocable transactions, being your own bank, etc. are still there.


Hm, but if we solved for those issues, we would probably just have USD. I thought the appeal of a fixed supply, non-double spend asset was to be able to keep up with previously exclusive asset inflation .


That depends whether you want Austrian digital cash or Keynesian digital cash.


Lol, it’s the first time we’ve had an Austrian money, and the market seems to like it.


The last 3 things you listed are benefits, not flaws. At least volatility is positively skewed.

I love positive volatility. Don't you want to make money?


No such thing as free guaranteed money, all of this is just a fancy way to gamble.


A lot of it, certainly not all of it. If something better exists, we’ll probably move over to it, and the transition period could be turbulent.
