> Everything has tradeoffs. There's no 'objective' better.

Yes there is.

Every chess move has advantages and disadvantages, yes. But some are objectively better.

Every algorithm has advantages and disadvantages. But some are objectively better.

Believing that nothing can be objectively better than Bitcoin, and calling people who disagree delusional, is less than useful.

Chess is an abstract game in a tightly bounded universe. Economics (which includes monetary economics) is concerned with open systems in the real world. The two are not even remotely comparable.

You might benefit--expand your mind--by reading some classical economists' thoughts on such things.

We are not just talking about a small difference between BTC and newer gen crpyto.

I've stated numbers above.

While I appreciate the hilarity of invoking classical economics to justify vague Bitcoin maximalism, we are talking about something 6 million times more energy efficient, with infinitely lower fees, and well over a thousand times faster. It's objectively better on every technical front.
