Segwit and LN and Schnorr are not BitCoin, for a very good reason.
You miss the real point. Money is supposed to be a constant and unchanging. Things like the noble metals (physical silver and gold) resist entropy. Bitcoin FACILITATES entropy. It's the #1 worst form of 'money' ever created. If something starts out as some completely arbitrary abomination and randomly transforms into some other new, completely arbitrary abomination, it's obviously not fungible or money.
"Fungible" does not mean tumbling coins in some Albanian mixer to try and obfuscate outputs, it means the object has actual, inherent properties that don't mutate at random. Fungibility is a requirement of money and no imaginary, digital shitcoin has it. Physical metals are money and digital shitcoins are scam hoaxes pretending to have the traits of metals when they don't.
True, but it is just implicit. Bitcoin cannot be changed after Satoshi left. It is fraud to do so and keep the name.
You (hv_) are surely making up arbitrary rules in order to attempt to create a definition of bitcoin that could possibly cause some bullshit cultist shitcoin bitcoin attack vector to claim to be bitcoin... What a bunch of nonsense. If you understand the concept of various network effects, then you might begin to understand that bitcoin has seven market affects going in its favor, and bcash variants hardly mark a dent in any of the network effects, unless there were a network effect for a prolific ability to spread phoney baloney, then perhaps one of your bcashes would prevail in that (even while there is no such legitimate network effect that gives credibility to a project merely for an ability to spread phoney baloney... ... helrow?).
Biggest shit was Segshit, and we had the biggest drop of btc in market share with that.
As if you are making any kind of meaningful assessment of importance and the power of BIG daddy bitcoin.
Hope we have biggest learning curve about money now.
You can hope all that you like, and that is not going to get you anywhere without meaningful network effects.
True Bitcoin is better than any PM though
Well yeah.. bitcoin is an improvement upon all the PMs including gold and silver which are the most touted of the PMs for having some kind of store of value and/or currency effect, and of course, bitcoin beats both of them on those grounds.
