Its a Ponzi scheme that uses as much energy as Argentina, has insignificant market cap $1T, on top of that btc is useless small gimmick that governments are trying to ban because how unthreatening it is.

This is a gist of all anti-btc posts. Make up you mind people.

Or maybe BTC is a Schrödinger's new cat.

Replace "unthreatening" with "harmful" and you'll have a more accurate reason for governments to ban it, and no contradiction.
