Bitcoin advocates focus on the limited supply when comparing to the USD, and forget that bitcoin also has very limited utility as a currency. I don't want to transact in something so volatile, nor something with such high transaction cost or latency.

Bitcoin is being actively developed. Maybe you would have good ideas on how to improve the things you critizise if you allowed yourself to think about them.

Thanks for the ad hominem attack, it's validation for the fundamental issues I raised.

Bitcoin is a massive waste of the natural resources used to create and maintain the blockchain entries, nothing more, and probably won't ever be anything else. A properly designed cryptocurrency could be useful, but it won't look anything like bitcoin.

Ad hominem was not my intent, rather stating, that people try improving Bitcoin every day. It is just the state of the art which does not mean, that things cannot be improved, e.g. by you.
