I think bitcoin usage in the future will be split into use-cases

As the feature set of money, will of course be the broad categories

But they will subdivided based on the users themself, whomever chooses to interact with the network, and however they do it

The question is will the volume and density of those users reflect a similar structure as to today?

Ie large transactions are done by large corporate players

Ie people like to use a bank (custodian) to then custody and transact for them

Let’s see

I think the key, as you say, is the ability of the network to remain a peer-2-peer digital cash technology, ie if you want to send a no-nyc transaction, you still have that ability

I also, truly hope, that more people shift away from trusting others with their wealth, and do it themselves. There is such power in the sovereignty

Given it’s a different playing field altogether, my expectation is that how money is used will be dramatically different to the status quo

Therefore the “capture” you are concerned about, is ultimately not going to happen, and things like the Bitcoin conference are actually just corporate funded megaphones for propaganda, an agenda that is in fact not reality

Cheers to taking responsibility of your money
