Money is the most valuable public good in the world. There is no problem as great as the problem that sound, stateless money solves. No, it should not be used for other things, the same as TCP/IP shouldn’t be inundated with spam connections that aren’t actually meant to do anything or send any information. If this was the norm then TCP/IP simply wouldn’t be used for communication.

If bitcoin isn’t strictly defined with rules for it to work as money, then it won’t work as money.

It’s strict limits ENABLE it to be permissionless freedom money. We can’t just say “but free markets” and drop any restrictions that some people wish were gone.

While I understand this, it still contradicts real freedom of the individual, to use bitcoin however they so choose.

Apple and Google will use it for financial surveillance.

You will use it as money.

And others will scribble their dick size and memes on sats.

What really makes bitcoin not work, is telling others how it should be used. Its the biggest turn off and makes no sense to the average individual talking about the freedom bitcoin brings but then telling them how they have to use it only as money.
