Bitcoin makes a lot of sense, if you don't want central banks to print your monies and devalue it. If you don't care about that, then it doesn't make sense for you. But really, the 21M cap is about only point that matters about BTC, the other features have to be there but are secondary.

Nope, still no sense. There are plenty of crypto projects out there that are less centralized, don't dump entire countries worth of carbon into the air, and still manage to have the same logarithmic distribution that Bitcoin does.

BTC was a first draft that somehow metastisized into a literal meme virus that consumes a stupifying proportion of the world power supply.

It's idea cancer. The fact that it continues to exist is a sign of a faulty memetic immune system in our species.

Bitcoin makes a lot of sense if you’re a libertarian weirdo who thinks fiat currency is the worst thing ever.

It makes no sense in the real world.

The "real world" includes countries with double or even triple digit inflation, and if you live in such a country bitcoin absolutely makes sense.
