(10,901 posts)36. Clearly, we'll have to agree to disagree.
Among other points, cursory research should show that there is no realisitic possibility of effectively "cloning" Bitcoin.
Also, I'm having trouble even comprehending what you're trying to say about BTC's lack of inflatability. To me it simply means that no centralized or other authority can create a bunch more BTC out of thin air as the Fed has with dollars, with the result that if you'd spent a dollar on BTC ten years ago, you could now buy a lot more hamburger with it than you could if you'd simply kept your one dollar. And yes, BTC has been volatile, but overall it's outperformed most other investments.
