Nostr Web Client

Kick-starting #Bitcoin #SkepticismSundays 😎

One of the things that showed me the intellectual honesty of the Monero community and helped to force the community to stay grounded in reality and always laser focused on their core ethos was their weekly "Skepticism Sunday" Reddit threads. These threads allowed the community to come together, ask hard and skeptical questions about the design of Monero, the privacy provided, the economic approach, and much more.

In my time in Bitcoin I've never seen anything similar, but the nuanced and high-signal crowd on Nostr seems like a perfect fit to fire things up and see how it goes.

The goal of this thread (which I'll post weekly on Sunday's) is for discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Bitcoin.

NOT the positive aspects of it.

Discussing things with a critical thinking approach and level-headed discussion helps us learn where Bitcoin and it's community can improve and go from there.

I know this is late on Sunday, will post earlier next week but would love to hear y'all's thoughts on the concept or skepticism 🙂

I don’t know how we’re going to thread the needle of keeping block space scarce yet enabling sovereignty for all. Trustless base chain access is a must.

Some interesting approaches with how you can batch transactions with Taproot, but I still don't see things scaling to a large % of the populace without block size increasing quite a bit.

We have quite a bit of wiggle room to grow along with hardware improvements and cost decreases, IMO, but I know that's a touchy subject 😅

I've read about interesting proposals using zk-rollups, but know very little on the subject.
