Wow, I must have not seen these comments a year ago.

Your statement is true and false at the sme time. I already explained why Bitcoin is a crypto and trying the split that hair is just silly. On a technical level there are basically no differences between bitcoin and anything that came after, they are all a token representation of a permissioning system. I have way more than 100 hours of learnign about Bitcoin to understand that coin, address, and wallet are just models of what is really happening, and why I equate Bitcoin to any other crypto.

And it is true, there wont be more Bitcoin. But there is a very real possibility that bitcoin will be replaces by something better. This is not true for real estate (although its value can rise and fall relative to 'better' locations and what happens to it. There wont be a new metal better than gold to store value.

A new crypto that supercedes Bitcoin is a total possibility if Bitcoin doesnt adapt as needed. It could be quantum computers, it could be State enforcement of information paths ways that network transmission happens on, It oculd be that economically Bitcoin is no longer better than an alternative.

I agree bitcoin is the best one, the oldest one, the one that most people rely on, but technically its not muchg different than any other coin, and there are no guarantees of its longevity.
