What needs to be said when people ask these questions is “so what if we’re wrong?” Bitcoin is just code, and if we’re wrong about it, “it” being the idea that money (time and energy) should be taken out of the hand of government and given back to the people to do with what they please, then we’re wrong about that piece of code being the answer to the problem this idea was intended to solve.

These questions remind me of the scene in Ready Player One when Artemis confronts Parzival about “not wanting to lose his 💩.” The real issue is that people aren’t ready to lose their life for the potential to actually find their life.

I like his sentiment, but would like to hear an alternative answer to the question (Granted, he probably can’t/shouldn’t say that part out loud being a bitcoin company CEO doing media appearances)

What do you think tho Garrett? What if we are wrong?

You can be wrong about the implementation, but you can't be wrong about the idea. Even if bitcoin the software failed in the early years, the idea would have lived on until something worked.

This. 🔥 “the idea would have lived on” 🫂🫡
