Ask HN: Why are you pro/anti Bitcoin?

I’m a tech person who can’t understand if Bitcoin is just a fad that has no underlying value or if it’s the next internet. When it comes to transferring money I’m fairly happy with PayPal, Transferwise & stripe.

I’ve been following Bitcoin since 2013 but never made a serious investment as I’m not a believer. At the same time I can’t rule it out completely. Will fiat last forever or will it be replaced? Is crypto that replacement? Maximalists would have us believe that the USD will hyper inflate and Bitcoin is a hedge. But is it?

I’m using Bitcoin interchangeably with crypto. If you are for other crypto and not Bitcoin can you tell us why? If you are against it all can you tell why?

Just trying to get different opinions on why people believe / don’t believe in Bitcoin(or crypto in general)
