BTC is a giant parasite that provides absolutely no benefit in enhancing productivity or prosperity. What happens when the last BTC is mined? Then comes the massive fees that will be tacked on to every transaction. Or will the the miners go away and transactions will be on the lightning network, virtually eliminating all of the benefits and security of mining?
What happens when we have faster computers that can hack any block chain in nanoseconds? In 20 years, people will be laughing.
