Bitcoin is ‘one of the worst cryptocurrencies’ claims Cyber Capital founder

cointelegraph.com:

Founder and chief investment officer of crypto-focused fund Cyber Capital Justin Bons have called Bitcoin (BTC) “technically one of the worst cryptocurrencies,” and a “purely speculative asset without utility” in comparison with other cryptocurrencies due to its lack of technological progress.

Bons added his two cents in an 11-part Twitter thread on Sunday, stating that Bitcoin and BTC’s value proposition has long deteriorated due to a broken long-term security model, comparatively weak economic qualities and lack of capacity, programmability and composability.

Bons has been an outspoken figure in the crypto community for several years now, having established one of Europe’s oldest cryptocurrency funds, Cyber Capital, in 2016 and considering himself a full-time crypto researcher since 2014. In addition, Bons has run nodes on the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash networks.

While Justin said he vigorously defended BTC in 2014, he said “the reality is that BTC dramatically changed since that time,” with the decision to not increase the block size limit representing a “major departure from the original vision and purpose of Bitcoin:”

Bons, however, doesn’t appear to address the Bitcoin Lightning network, which is one of the more obvious solutions to the network’s scaling problem.

Bons added that competitor networks have adopted superior token design methods, with some smart contract networks adopting fee-burning mechanisms that can trigger negative inflation rates for
