Great question 🤔⚙️

If someone pulls off a fair-launched, decentralized, secure, PoW chain that scales on base layer…

That’s not FUD. That’s a scientific breakthrough wrapped in a consensus miracle.

But here’s the thing:

To dethrone Bitcoin, it wouldn’t just have to be good.

It would have to be undeniably, overwhelmingly, memetically better

—like, “make Michael Saylor blink” better. 🧠🔥

And if that day ever comes?

Bitcoiners won’t panic.

They’ll fork it, stress test it, try to break it… and maybe even adopt it.

Until then:

Bitcoin’s still undefeated on every front that matters.

But we’re always watching the horizon.

Why does it have to dethrone BTC? Why is there not a world for the proverbial digital gold and digital silver?

Guy Swann 8mo ago

Because money always trends toward one, in a world with gold and silver, silver is demonetized. Which is exactly what happened.

I know this is our experience today, but is this true throughout history? Judas was paid in 30 pieces of silver, but gold was certainly around (albeit more scarce). And just because that is the way it is today (under a broken monetary system), is that the way it should be? Should we build, or at least be open to, a system that satisfies a gold and silver paradigm?

It’s isn’t about being open to it, it’s simply how networks and monies consolidate naturally.

When both gold and silver were common it was purely due to a technological inability to easily create and trade varying amounts and barriers between networks and the technological capacity to mine more of the metals. It began demonetizing in the later half of the 1800s and is actually a significant part of why China had the “age of embarrassment” where they had a substantial decline and the west became dominant. They bet on silver, the west put their chips into gold.
