Bitcoin hasn't convinced me as a decentralized self-custodial day to day money. Lightning isn't a fully scaled solution without some of the same issues as fiat and the self custodial experience is not really great for a normal person. An alternate solution might come though by the time it matters. I'm not heavily invested in Bitcoin beyond a little bit for technical curiosity and testing, and I'm 0 invested in other crypto. Still, I do find exploration of consensus models really interesting and worthwhile. I think some of the things Mina are doing are very appealing but I still think it's early in marrying it's concepts. I think being automatically dismissive of crypto projects that are earnestly exploring is bad blinding logic just the same as lumping Bitcoin's progress and position along with other existing crypto, as many uniformed folks do. Bitcoin probably has proven itself as a hardened steel solid store of value though.
