Any contrast to Bitcoin, whether that its more private, a "true" digital cash vs. a speculative vehicle, more utilitarian, more ethical...

It has to justify its existence by comparing itself to the standard which is Bitcoin, and by every measure it is found wanting.

It's more insidious because it's inherently divisive. Your typical scam coin is only there to make gains in a zero-sum environment which as we know can't escape the gravity of Bitcoin being the measure of wealth.

By my own logic though maybe BCash should be the shittiest shitcoin.

strangely enough... OP didn't put BCH and XMR in the poll...

XMR would never have occurred to me, since real people actually use it for real stuff, and have done for years. It provides practical utility, right now. The objections to it are still unclear to me.

BCH's shittiness I already perfectly understand, so no reason to mention it.

stupid people use it for stupid stuff ... It feigns utility

If you have a more substantive critique of XMR I'd be interested in reading it.

Prove a negative?

They say its more private and you're just like ok?

I've come to believe that you have some good insights sometimes. If this is one of those times, I'm asking for them. But what you've given me so far isn't anything I can use.

reply

They say its more private, it's not, nor is it Bitcoin. It's therefore by every manner of deduction a shitcoin, and it's arguably the shittiest because it implicitly lies about Bitcoin.

That's as direct reasoning as it gets, if that's inadequate that's a problem of that I can't reason you out of a position you didn't reason yourself into.

It provides practical utility, right now

Oh you are one of these?

Every year we have new candidates, from what I’ve seen. This year it’s Kaspa and XRP.

XRP is the opposite of a new candidate.

It's not new, but it's the trend of the year.
