More important than to prognosticate what the end state might look like - its to create the future we want to see. I do question the conviction of Block towards Bitcoin if the CEO of one of its division does not believe in a Bitcoin future. Perhaps the limitations of a state regulated public company? I hope I am reading this wrong here.

How do I not believe in a bitcoin future? The scenario I lay out, is basically bitcoin becoming the most important monetary asset in the world.
It seems to me you were saying that you don’t believe Bitcoin to be able to replace all forms of currencies. I’d assume also means that tools which goes towards this end, including to fight state national currencies as all forms of money, will be deprioritized from the road map.
Again, I hope I am wrong. But I am afraid, it is indeed not up to public companies to take on such positions. And if so, I can understand, even tho still being disappointed at the same time.
Why us pseudonymous FOSS projects exists.
It has nothing to do with regulations. It has everything to do with incentive structures in organized societies. There are colleagues I have that openly believe in the thesis that all money except for bitcoin will die. Our status as a publicly traded company does not impose any restriction on them saying that. And if I believed that was the most likely outcome, I would feel no compunction to say it, either.
