Monero and Ethereum are the two best investments for this next bull run. They will both heavily outperform bitcoin.
Monero is what people used to think bitcoin was, a private currency with cheap fees.
Bitcoin has become quite hilarious, lightning is so shit and look at how much more btc is on the ethereum network. Bitcoiners still think high fees are a good thing? ???Idiots like Luke Jr saying blocksize should be smaller. At least ethereum is working on solutions to scaling and lowering fees.
You are only seeing the Bitcoin network as a payments network. I am of the mind we already have a ton of good payments networks. Bitcoin is a brand new monetary system, and it is programmable. If the lightning network does not improve (and i think it is likely to by quite a bit) then something else trust minimized will take it's place. And all the trust based models (Credit Cards, Cash App, etc) will flourish as they begin to use the bitcoin network at their base. And they can continue to offer their advantages. For example reversible payments. Bitcoin will never do this. And that is a feature, not a bug. But do we really want a world in which we have no option to pay a little to a trusted third party to be able to protect us from fraud?
People tend to look at Bitcoin in a one or two dimensional light, and proclaim that it is here to save us from all these things we don't really need to be saved from, and they miss so much.
What Bitcoin saves us from is potentially the greatest evil the world has ever seen... and it's not Visa.
