There's a finite quantity of quality .com domains, but there are now over a thousand different competing extensions, so essentially an unlimited supply for the alternative non-.com domains.

The value of money comes from people knowing and trusting that someone else will accept the value of that money. Do you think most merchants would accept any of the cryptocurrencies that are not among the top 10?
Bitcoin is finite. If you're talking about 15,000 other coins (in actuality I think you mean 1,500 other coins) these are not bitcoin. These are what we call (mostly) shitcoins. When we are talking about bitcoin being finite to only 21mil we are talking about only that. Most of the rest can and will probably die off eventually.

the same is true for other currencies...they are not decentralized in any way...from mining to ownership, they are controlled by a small few...and this makes them shit for storing value...you are practically gifting your money to the 1%...you put fiat in they take fiat out you are left with an empty bag...but its great for trading
wait, so all this time i've been gifting my money to people? but wait, how have i been profiting for all these years?
