NO
good luck with your transactions at 20$, 48h hours waiting to confirm, and total no privacy of how much you hold (so you can be traced by hackers and even tax officers...), and no, lightning network is not a solution at all..
You guys treat BTC like gold, but forgot that BTC is SOFTWARE... Should Windows 1.0 be more expensive than Windows 10? . just because it was the first windows??, so wait exchanges like coinbase, etc add more coins to buy from FIA and you´ll see nobody gives a **** about BTC.. even LTC is gaining value this days because many people buying at coinbase, prefer LTC over BTC... because BTC it´s useless in modern world... even VISA, or traditional bank wires is doing the same faster and cheaper. BTC is not the King of anything is the first.. but software value is simply about it´s usability.... don´t invest in obsolete software...
bitcoin is a concept with big fans that's the reason why it's number one.
If people is stupid to have sentimentalism about an useless coin like bitcoin, you should use this to gain profit
Anyway I agree with you, bitcoin is the king of shitcoins
Shitcoins like Doge or digibyte do the same much faster, cheaper and better...so btc is the first, no the king..
People don´t enter BTC for sentimentalism, they enter because someone that bough when it was cheap tells them it makes money and buys lambos, and they´re hooked in the PONZI trend...
So yes people buy because they think it will make money out of nothing, not because they plan to use it in anyway.. and
even if they used it, they will find how it´s not solving anything... their Visa card or paypal can do the same faster and cheaper... and at somepoint that will create the question of why the hell do i need this.
Gold is gold, it was always valuable in the world... It has hundres of uses either in industry or in jewellery... and obsolete software got no use but that you call sentimentalism.. so watch out because 2018 could not be so great for BTC as 2017
