You know who the biggest hypocrites in the world are theses days?
Bitcoin maximalists.
Wrong. I can't even respond to this.
only way to interact with Bitcoin profitably will either to be filthy rich or by trusting an intermediary to maintain custody of funds and route transactions together for a cheaper overall price
Wrong. You've obviously heard of Lightning but what about potential for Drivechains or any other advancements that will allow for scaling.
Sure, it's possible that the blocksize starts increasing
Highly doubtful. This would require a hardfork and its more likely we see smaller blocks than larger ones.
the users of Bitcoin have no say in the governance in Bitcoin
Wrong. The whole point of the UASF was to show that users (nodes) are the ones in control of Bitcoin and not miners/exchanges.
With DPOS, your stake is your vote. Many will claim that in theory this leads to corruption. Yes, well, that's nice, in theory. In reality the exact opposite thing is happening.
Wrong. You forgot we had to hardfork Sun away because he controlled the governance with his legally acquired stake. When have we had to fork to stop a stakeholder in Bitcoin?
A stack worth less than $200 on Hive gets you a stronger vote than you could ever hope to get within legacy republics.
Wrong. This makes sense until people actually use Hive and then having 0.000035% would be worth far more than $200 and "normal" users won't have the same benefit as they do now as 1/10,000 users.
Inflation doesn't matter.
I don't think we're here for the same reasons if you actually believe this.
Bitcoin will never die, but its complete lack of proper inflation incentives will push it lower and lower on the market cap when the time comes.
Believe this at your own peril.
Bitcoin has no inflation
Wrong. We will be inflating the existing supply for the next 120 years though the amount gets smaller and smaller with each passing halving.
