@ZeroSum06 The worst scammers.

@ZeroSum06 Print billions of tokens out of thin air, pay influencers to shill project pumping the price and dump on newbs. It's nothing more than a digital central bank to enrich themselves at the expense of poor people high on false hope. Many such cases.

@RTB

The supply is finite. Tokens are held in escrow. Banks have transferred trillions across the globe across the rails. The project is ISO20022 compliant. If you're looking at it through the same lense as say Hawk Coin there is a serious information gap.

@ZeroSum06 It's a centralized shitcoin with zero actual use case...solves nothing but transfering wealth to the founders. You seem pretty intelligent, but don't be fooled by elaborate marketing. I've been Bitcoin only long enough to learn these lessons.

@RTB

Institutional adoption, cross border payments, liquidity, security & plug-n-play availability are use cases. They're positioned to take a piece of SWIFT if not take it over.

@ZeroSum06 Again, centralized...replacing one for another controlled monetary network which is how we got in this mess in the first place. Bitcoin has already solved all you have listed. No central authority, censorship resistant, permissionless. I'm not telling you how to save your hard earned money, but in 2017, Bitcoin was $1500...XRP was $1. Today Bitcoin is $94K and XRP is $2. IMO, Bitcoin is better money if you want to preserve your wealth.

@RTB

With players like BlackRock, Saylor, countless ETFs, etc there's an element of centralization & it's manipulatable. In terms of speed of service it's not there. Bitcoin is a nifty store of value, digital gold, & that's fine. Didn't speak to ISO20022 compliance nor an entire network adopted by banks for CBP or even RWA tokenization. Then point to the price which is comparing 2 different species & further highlights what I've been posting for months- difference between saving & investing.

@ZeroSum06 Blackrock, Saylor, banks, Nation States...it doesn't matter. They have no control over the network, thats the beauty of proof of work. If you want transaction speed, use Lightning or Visa.

@RTB they can manipulate the price since I noticed price *was* a talking point, in addition to the fork example noted

RTB

@ZeroSum06 At their own peril. Them trying to manipulate the price is temporary. It works in traditional markets because its only open monday-Friday 9-4:30. Bitcoin is traded 24-7 globally and most of the market will always buy the dips. This is called Network Effect and Game Theory.

@RTB

So the consensus is it is manipulatable. Got it. Folks that wish to trade it sure can. But it is a zero sum game so to speak in that these dips find people FUDding out which creates the buy the dip opportunities. There will always be winners and losers. It's the volatility in both cases that are features rather than bugs of these tokens.
