Yeah what everyone else said, read this whole thread. Not for the CSW stuff (it's a travesty he still gets attention) but for the rest.https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/981069924255739904 …
Technically they are both utility tokens. By your logic Silver should be superior to Gold, because Silver has 100+ industrial applications, and Gold has almost none.

Industrial applications are not exactly equivalent. What makes BTC gold and not anything else? Perception? Is gold building LN to be a high-throughput MOE? So which is it, a SOV or an MOE? No one is going to buy $5 coffee with BTC if it's deflationary and only meant for hodling.

It’s not about payments. It’s about sound money. Westerners with 3% inflation don’t understand the value prop of Bitcoin that well, and are merely trying to build a better Paypal.
-
ETH or any other crypto can be just as sound money as BTC. Sound money is simply money that has a purchasing power determined by markets, independent of governments and political parties.
-
II understand what you’re saying, but in my opinion, thus far, BTC has shown itself to be significantly more ‘sound’ that ETH.
-
BTC superior security, decentralization, censorship-resistance, immutability, better Lindy Effect, better devs and untouchable monetary policy is what makes it a good SoV.
-
I’d also argue that inflationary crypto isn’t as sound as fixed-supply.
