Both positions have good theses. The question I always ask myself:
What, apart from the high price, is really left of bitcoin in the real world? And because I don't have an answer to this, I continue to see Bitcoin as a gamble that works well for some and very, very badly for many more.

@Charmin If you are interested, I can recommend the book "The Trojan Horse of Freedom" mentioned in the article :)

@Charmin That's how I see it too. As long as the whole thing doesn't arrive in everyday life, where I can easily trade and pay with it, the whole thing is just gambling for me. And no, any weird online stores or "ATMs" don't count for me.

@Hitchkock89 You can already trade with it without any problems :D
Of course you can't pay with it without any problems. Of course you can use it from person to person, but in our everyday life the euro is the legal tender. I have already paid with Bitcoin in various restaurants and cafés, but the owners are Bitcoiners and then put the euro amount in cash themselves. Otherwise it wouldn't be possible to use it for tax purposes. And that is currently not the claim of Bitcoin. And Bitcoin is simply still far too young for that :)

@stefan_21 Basically, I don't really understand the whole discussion anyway: some people think it's great, others don't. It feels like every other share.
Everyone has to know for themselves. Not everyone comes to the same conclusions. And my conclusion is this: Don't gamble. Better to have fun in the casino.

@Charmin Also a legitimate point of view :)

@Charmin The price on the Bitcoin is actually irrelevant for the actual function. Which is why you don't need to have a Fomo if everyone uses Bitcoin at some point. The only important thing for bartering is that the transfer unit remains stable on a daily basis. Of course, a stable coin is better suited for this, but they are never the yellow of the egg (someone somewhere wants to make a profit).
Otherwise, as a consumer, I think the actual idea of irreversible payment transactions is a load of crap.
