Jimmy I deeply respect you but I think this missed the mark and is uncharacteristically shortsighted.

It fundamentally comes down to the question: is bitcoin tooling ready to onboard 8 billion people?

If you think it is, I’d like to hear you expand on that. I am incredulous.

If you concede that it’s not then by definition there are projects worth building. In that case, I want to hear more constructive thoughts on what should/shouldn’t get funded.

This piece seems pretty biased by your experience. Not everyone was paying attention when #bitcoin appeared at $20. You can’t hold it against people that they want to earn their keep and move the movement forward in a positive direction and be compensated for it.

No, I agree with him. I don’t think he’s saying we shouldn’t build anything at all, but rather we should take more care, attention and thought towards what we are. A lot of things like fedimint and “far worse” things like ordinals are great, but they’re just not good enough.

I doubt Jimmy would say ordinals are great.

My point is that the community needs great minds like Jimmy to lead and give direction on areas that have merit and provide value.

I think that’s exactly what he’s doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see no statements regarding what should be built and simply rough allusions to some of (but not all) the types of projects he says lack merit. That’s the problem.
