bc1 isn't an uncommon prefix, its a bech32 native segwit address that's been in use for years now (IIRC 1 and 3 are the other prefixes, 1 being the first and most popular and 3 being a backwards compatible segwit address, i.e. non native). Stats: https://txstats.com/dashboard/db/bech32-statistics?orgId=1

faulty key pairs being generated is a well known issue with poorly developed wallets, not with Bitcoin itself. None of the popular wallets have this issue so it doesn't undermine Bitcoin.

What are you talking about? Chainlink is used a ton, literally powers most of defi. Its used to secure 10s of billions of $.

> the supposed point of crypto is to reducing the reliance on, and grifting from, companies like Coinbase

Yes, that is still the case? Decentralized exchanges like Uniswap are dominating (over $1B volumes daily) and growing very rapidly. Crypto is and always has been about decentralization.

Settlement != payment

Are you agreeing or disagreeing that it is a threat? Linux did take a ton of market share from Microsoft on the server side.

Linux is also not a good analogy IMO, because Uniswap has a lot of direct retail/consumer usage whereas Linux isnt used directly by the average person.

False, smart contracts have so much demand that Ethereum gas prices have skyrocketed in the past year

Whenever crypto comes up on HN all the comments are either copium, Tether, or people saying "I'm not wrong its the market thats wrong".

Amazing to see how the tech/SV mainstream completely missed out on Defi, and are now missing out on NFTs.

This comment explains HNs relationship with crypto perfectly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24310174. Good quote from @balajis: "Crypto is what comes after Silicon Valley"

Cardano is obviously a shitcoin. This should be immediately obvious to anyone in tech

Imagine being a HN reader and shilling Cardano. Do you know anything about technology?

Why are you shilling Nano? No one uses it, and no one will ever use it.

Wow, Elon got scammed to buy Bitcoin?

What does the ex-CEO and former largest single shareholder of PayPal know about digital money?

What does the world's richest man know about money?

Apparently not much.

Definitely not more than you, since you know that Bitcoin is a scam.

If you think Bitcoin has no value, why not short it? Bet on your beliefs. I think it has value, which is why I'm long.

> people making investments with bitcoin backed loans

There already are Bitcoin backed loans offered by both decentralized services (like Aave, Compound, Maker etc) and centralized services (like BlockFi, Celsius etc). They get real usage. Aave, Compound and Maker have $17B worth of crypto deposited in them as collateral. BlockFi has a $2.85B valuation.
