Bitcoiners want the protocol to ossify, be stable, and change very little. And then sincoiners think, oh, then there's no need for devs on Bitcoin, they don't want to change and innovate... But that's completely ignorant of all the apps being built to lower barriers to adoption.

This includes wallets, layers, nodes, servers, frontends, web apps and mobile apps, and associated hardware for all of those. Just because they don't come with their own sincoin listed on CoinGecko doesn't mean it's not bringing value to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin software, hardware, and businesses *are* the "total value locked", and because the protocol is stable, it's a solid foundation for devs to build upon. What's silly is when Bitcoiners feed back on that, thinking, oh, we don't need Bitcoin devs, when in fact, we do.

I mean it is a stable foundation for the world to build on but otherwise I’m 100% with you.

There is lots of stuff, viable and useful stuff to build!

Just stop the sincoin nihilism already and look into a brighter future together.⚡️🧡

Yeah, to an extent, Bitcoin has been stable for about a decade now if you or your users don't need the features provided by the soft forks... 😅

I don’t see a hardening of the rules as instability but yeah in the end you are still right. The fundamentals in Bitcoin haven’t changed for a decades now. With this I’m not even concerned about Lightning. Just hard money theorem mostly.

💯 love that
