> You're confusing money with currency.

No, you're using nonsense distinctions that come from the 'Austrian school', that you think make you smart and you believe gives you an understanding of economics denied to most people, even those who study economics to a high level and make careers in that space. Unfortunately it's a patchwork of old and poor ideas that don't really hold up.

By the way I love the condescending addendum, sure, the only reason that anyone could possibly be negative about Bitcoin is that they haven't learned enough about it. LOL.

> Vote with your conviction.

Any move into the manipulated casino that is cryptocurrency is a bad move.

Another reason people might view Bitcoin negatively is because they let others think for them (reaching flawed, uneducated conclusions, passed down onto you).

Or conflict of interest. Financial privilege. Not biting the hand that feeds you. Fitting in with your peers who have the same herd mentality. Take your pick.

> Do you have an actual rebuttal

I don't need to. Actual mainstream economics is that rebuttal. The Austrian school is a discredited joke.

Most of your points are emotional and idealogical - you call other cryptocurrencies "shitcoins", despite them being technically identical in many cases and superior in some.

> Another reason people might view Bitcoin negatively...

It's funny, you can't even conceive that someone could understand it and come to the conclusion that it's not a perfect miracle handed down directly from saint satoshi, and then you call identical cryptocurrencies "shitcoins", perhaps you don't understand them well enough?

BTC is the same as the others, it just has the big name. They're all shitcoins, I simply understand that about one more coin than you do.
