RE: Hope For The Best, Prepare For The Worst.
Regarding 'BTC to zero' and the claim that those folks don't believe in DLT, I don't agree. I believe in automobiles, I just don't want a Model T. Model T sales are zero because better cars exist.
Better DLTs exist than BTC.
Just sayin'
I'm not super educated on the matter so sometimes I look to people like Andreas Antonopoulos, who is an expert on such topics. If he tells me there are some things Bitcoin does better than any other project I'm inclined to believe him.
There are many trade offs in the world of DLT. The Model T doesn't compliment other versions of cars, yet Bitcoin does compliment other versions of cryptocurrency. I'm not sure that analogy translates.
I believe his more recent video mentions such topics, and it's not like he's some Bitcoin shill maximalist and he's well aware of the Blockstream issues. Even the trade off from Bitcoin to Ethereum (adding smart contracts) is a serious security concern. Projects like EOS, Tron, and Steem take those issues to a whole new level. Bitcoin provides a good foundation layer... though even Andreas admits that privacy is still the ultimate concern.
