What stops btc from being usurped by cryptos with better source code (heard there are many)?

In terms of functional use is it still only used en masse on the dark web or is there significant trading on paypal etc now?


It has name recognition, which is literally the only important thing for something being a currency.

I beg to differ. Transaction fees, processing speed, integrity of data etc are pretty important

Sure, that stuff is important, but the single most important factor for a currency is that others recognize it as a currency. Bitcoin beats every other coin on this by a country mile. Most people have at least heard of bitcoin, I'd say less than 10% of the people who have at least heard about bitcoin even know that Etherium is another coin.

my best advice, having been there myself when i was trying to eek out daily 1-3% increases with day trading cryptos. get well acquainted with auto selling on whatever app u use. dont hit the button yourself, and if it doesnt hit that amount over night no biggie. living with ur finger hovering over the button is no life to live, you'll burn out.

Cryptos being available 24/7 is why I haven't touched them. I'd sit here watching my screen all night making sure it doesn't go down while I sleep lol

all the major moves with stonks almost always happen when you cant really trade them anyway. crypto gives you that liberty but it comes with the added responsibility

snipa’s advice is sound here. i set and forget like i do with stonks
