Episode 225 - Bitcoin Myths

In episode 225 of "Satoshi's Plebs," hosts McIntosh and Kenshin debunk eight Bitcoin myths: that it has no intrinsic value, is mainly used by criminals, wastes energy, is too volatile for currency use, will be banned by governments, has slow/expensive transactions, will be replaced by better cryptocurrencies, and is a Ponzi scheme. They counter each myth with evidence about Bitcoin's utility, legitimate usage (99%+ of transactions), renewable energy incentives, decreasing volatility over time, decentralized resistance to bans, Lightning Network capabilities, unique leaderless structure, and survival through multiple market cycles.
