First off “crypto” does not exist.
Blockchain based tokens exist. Bitcoin is a blockchain based token.
There exist many tokens that did not premine into a developers account, and are just as decentralized (or more) than bitcoin.
The governance protocols for almost no blockchain projects allow “unilateral” codebase changes, and running nodes to participate in voting is a practice of MANY projects.
If bitcoin truly is unique, I’d love to hear your take on why it is superior to any product that forked its code base and has the same governance, distribution, and rules.
Your post shows you have no idea how any of these projects work behind the scenes.
Look at all the people that will learn from your questioning. All those following screenshot for present and future reference. You WILL be ahead of your peers.
KISS- Keep it Simple Stupid
-Cryptography is method for solving/writing code
-Crypto is a token based on a distributed ledger. (Fancy database like Excel on speed)
-Blockchain is (links in chain) spread over network branded with a timestamp (ex punchcard w/date n time)
If decentralization does not depend on proof of work you are gov/vc captured and wasting time. (Lindy effect) of network makes copycats futile. If your not peer to peer cash your just a tool to make $ from noobs to just buy Bitcoin at their expense.
Blocksize wars (look up) took care of main-chain forkers. Anyone can fork bitcoin look at the 20k tokens. The network is why it’s superior. $ that is permissionless and borderless. Bitcoin has its own rails. You can verify your (own) transaction, try that at a bank. First time in history you can own property regardless of race, religion devoid of manifest destiny.
Greatest thing is you do not need to know what goes on behind the scenes. Just HODL or get in at the price you deserve. If not NGMI.
