Bitcoin is already successful actually. Amidst all of the cons you've mentioned like electricity and losing the favor of the government, bitcoin was still able to stand still firmly. It may also depend on how you define success, if you consider it as something that helps you as you persevere on it or it is something that gives everyone benefits as it goes higher in achievements. Bitcoin will has been and will always be successful and as time passes by, it will prove itself more to people why it deserves its position at that moment.

If BTC as a store of value isn't a utility for you I don't know what fiat utility can be for you. The security of the Bitcoin network is hundred times secure than the banks you could praise a million times how is that not a success?

Firms are buying BTC and now that El Salvador is adopting BTC, fellow South American countries are possible to follow and this is a monumental success already for a very tiny country with a population of not more than 10M.

The government isn't just a single entity for a decision to pass to law it must constitute a level of constitutional reading. Bitcoin isn't centralized. It doesn't have a central source and so therefore it can't be banned completely it can only be banned in some part of the world and this leaders would still be forced to unban it most especially when it has made tremendous profit

Are you that bitter of not having any bitcoin? You don't think that there is any utility to bitcoin? So the 10k pizza by Laszlo didn't happen? Isn't buying goods and services a utility? What's your definition of utility?

Bitcoin mining consumes too much electricity, yeah but it won't last forever in the end. Renewable energies will take the place of electric energy when it comes to Bitcoin mining. And this will change things a lot. Bitcoin is going to be adopted way easier thanks to this I think.

In a certain community, there are supporters are there are people that are against to it.
Base on your recent topics, you are against Bitcoin and you are posting threads and spreading FUDS regarding Bitcoin.

I think I don't need to answer your question not because I don't know but because I believe that everything has 2 sides. We are the people who are believing Bitcoin and people like you who are against it and since this is a free forum where you can say anything, you can say anything you want but don't expect somebody to believe in what you are saying especially in a place where most are pro-Bitcoin .

no one can deny the fact that bitcoin has indeed experienced success. but maybe there will be controversy from what point of view bitcoin's success is, because everyone can see differently in looking at what success is from everyone's point of view.

because more people interpret it, there will always be many differences that occur. because everyone can look at it from different angles and that is a natural thing, but which one means more and acknowledges that bitcoin has indeed experienced that success.
it is clear that many recognize bitcoin has experienced success because more and more people continue to trust and want to invest their funds in bitcoin, this is a sign that many believe in bitcoin.

In the era of technological development, we cannot avoid the fact that the need for bitcoin is urgently needed to cover the shortcomings that occur in fiat which may still exist and let them support each other.

Or he never gets the benefits from bitcoin, so he says that once people can feel the benefits, they will try to earn more bitcoin and not stop before they can reach their goals.
Maybe he got bankrupt when trying to involve deeper in bitcoin and can not recover his money.
If he still trying to recover his money in many ways, I am sure he will see the benefits of bitcoin and maybe he will not say that.
But all in all, we can not blame him if he says bad about bitcoin because they will choose what they want and we can not do anything.

Well everyone can have their opinion but that doesn't mean that we have to tolerate the ignorant opinions, they are dangerous and can cripple generations that do not care about people. Also OP, how do you define rationality because I think you don't exactly know what it means.
