After over a decade of people pointing out some problems
with public coins using unencrypted network transports lol,
Bitcoin *might* finally do something about it.

But Bitcoin-BTC still doesn't use opportunistic cert pinning
with various user selectable pin resetting modes, so more
spy-and-games MITM.

And Bitcoin-BTC is still not a privacy coin.

So it's useless for actual use.

And will be obsoleted by better performing privacy coins before long.

Cryptocurrency (noun): A P2P Electronic Privacy Cash System

A currency always has some store of value,
but an unusable store of value is not a currency,
thus it cannot be a store of value.
