Transaction capacity is far too low. Bitcoin is essentially unusable when transactions take over a hour to complete

Volatility. Currency must be vaguely stable. Bitcoin is all over the place, most of the others have very low liquidity.

The waste of energy.

Scams galore. What in this space is not a scam? There have been so many scams.
