People's problem is thinking Bitcoin is the answer.

Bitcoin is a proof-of-concept.

Yes, you read that right. The hardest money on earth is just a proof of concept.

It proves that we can be in control of currencies without middlemen such as governments and banks.

Does that mean Bitcoin can't become the world's only money? No, it could. It's just not what people really desire.

Does that mean we'll never see "The Bitcoin Standard"? Yes.

If you believe in "The Bitcoin Standard" then you must realize it was decided in 2009 that there would be a standard at all. Bitcoin created the standard. Other cryptocurrencies attempt to set new standards. No one has replaced "The Bitcoin Standard" yet.

Always be looking forward.

Nostr could be improved right now, by anyone, simply by replacing TLN transactions with a faster blockchain. It could be improved with native smart contracts on ETH. It could become eco-friendly by employing Efforce, or Chia blockchains.

It could be improved by changing the way relays work, or by changing its dependence on relays, or by expanding its capabilities by not JUST limiting it to relay-based communications.

LOTS can happen and LOTS will happen.

People's problem is thinking Bitcoin is the answer.

Bitcoin is a MEANS TO AN END.

MONEY is a MEANS TO AN END.

The question is then, "to what end is Bitcoin a mean to?"

We don't have that answer yet. The answer is just about everything. That is why Bitcoin is THE standard, for now.

However, we know people have been discussing the idea of, and some countries have even employed, CBDC's.

So we have two primary issuers of global currencies:

Miners and governments.

Is this decentralized enough for you?

Wake the fuck up.
