I am really getting sick and tired of hearing the bullshit argument about Bitcoin BTC now becoming only a "digital gold, store-of-value", i.e. how it presumably no longer needs to be able to function as a currency.

Some brainwashed "Core Supporters" are actually saying it's not important for BTC to be capable of serving as a "means of exchange" or transaction medium anymore, due to the terribly long confirmation times and the sky-high $10, $50, or $100 per transaction miner fees. These poor deluded propagandized fools really seem to believe this "store of value" idea, alone, is somehow enough.

This is absolute nonsense, since in order to have any "VALUE" in the first place, any given commodity -- in order to be able to function as currency or money at all -- must have not ONE but TWO properties, at a minimum .

These are SCARCITY and USEFULNESS.

Both.

NOT just ONE or the OTHER.

BOTH!

To prove my point, let's consider... SHIT 💩

Dog shit is not scarce, by any means... LOL. Just walk outside right now to any nearby grassy area and I can almost 100% guarantee that you'll find some dog shit within a few minutes of looking for it.

Duck-Billed Platypus shit, on the other hand, probably IS pretty damn scarce. I can't even begin to think of how someone might go about getting ahold of some.

But neither dog shit nor platypus shit is useful for anything. They're both just shit .

So? "Scarce" or not... totally doesn't matter! Mere scarcity alone, does not make any kind of SHIT into something that'd be useful as MONEY.

Now, on the other hand? There's a very expensive type of coffee called Kopi Luwak , which -- believe it or not -- is made using berries that have been eaten and partially digested by a small cat-like animal called the Asian palm civet .

I am not making this up: check the wiki links above.

"Cat Shit Coffee" is really a thing. 😜

So, in fact, the poop of the Asian palm civet -- being both scarce AND USEFUL for this purpose -- actually IS valuable! Usefulness is key... so YES even SHIT with the correct properties of scarcity AND USEFULNESS, can "store value".

Back to crypto-currency: this point proves that as the property of usefulness disappears, more and more, from Legacy Bitcoin "BTC" and as they try to have it serve only as a "store of value" -- without it being USEFUL as a means of exchange anymore -- what's gonna happen?

It's gonna TURN INTO SHIT .

And, as Bitcoin Cash "BCH" gains adoption and many, many more use-cases due to having fast confirmation and low fees (as Satoshi intended from the start)... as Bitcoin (cash) becomes more and more USEFUL to more and more people for many different purposes, all over the world...?
