It was artificially crippled by limiting its throughput capability. The technical means of this is the limitation of the block size, by comparison harddrive sizes and internet speeds have increased between 15 and 50 times since 2010. For specialised companies laying their own cables it could be even more (a blockchain mining business might do that to improve their chances of winning a block and thereby earning more coins -> more revenue/profit).Reasons for the limit could be stupidity or corruption, for example via Epstein funding certain Bitcoin developers: "are you still playing in the bitcoin space.? where are you, i have Andy Back on my island this weekend". When you send coins via Lightning it isn't your exact coins that arrive, instead someone else's coins arrive in the same quantity, this small difference is useful when you want to break the law).As a result BTC is not a very safe investment. It is more similar to the emperror wearing no clothes than anything else. At some point people will figure it out as they try to solve technical challenges and realise they can't beat existing systems like VISA or Mastercard neither in terms of throughput (how many customers can actually use the system) nor in cost (how many customers can afford to use it). For example currently VISA can currently serve about nine hundred times as many customers as BTC.For the time being however people still believe and the volatility means opportunity to make money. Just be aware of the risk that at some point the music will stop and you don't want to be left behind with no chair.

>>62279038Netflix works on a shitty computer because the shitty computer user is not running the system, he is simply a user. Netflix uses VERY strong server infrastructure.This is true for all big sophisticated services.SN said and I quote: "The design supports letting users just be users."Letting BTC be run by shitty computers on purpose is something only a moron, useful idiot or scammer would come up with.
>>62278947>>62280024We’re getting close to 20 years of crypto and bitcoin in general and not a single “technologically superior” blockchain has displaced it despite there being thousands of coins with faster transaction times, greater volumes, etc. You can do it right now in fact, this afternoon. Even if you have no experience, you can hop onto Claude and in half a day create and deploy a blockchain that is technically superior to Bitcoin in every way. Let us know how it goes.At this point if you’re still arguing about what Bitcoin was “meant to be” instead of what it is, you are retarded and also likely broke.
>>62280024>Letting BTC be used by everyone at home on his own computer - is something only a moron, useful idiot or scammer would come up with!!!!!!!>You will own no means to verify your money, and you will be happy!!!
