Why would you join the website when it has no members and its whole value proposition is that with a lot of members it would be very useful?

Blockchain is currently being bootstrapped, but it's been criticized for not already having been bootstrapped.

Bitcoin is over 12 years old. It's not being bootstraped. It's instability is inherent to the fact that it's value is based entirely on speculation

That's just your (incorrect) opinion. Bitcoin's price discovery is clearly not done.

Even if you thought it is nothing but a complete scam, well then its true value is zero, and since it hasn't reached that, its price discovery is still going on.
