Fortunately BTC doesn't care about anyone's opinion. Not mine, not yours, not Jack Dorsey's, not Saylor's, no influencers, no one, it just does what it does.
That said there is NO SUCH THING as "just" digital gold. Digital gold is a store of value that can transport across space and time in seconds in a borderless premissionless way.
Anything that can do that can never be "just" that. May be nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzpq35r7yzkm4te5460u00jz4djcw0qa90zku7739qn7wj4ralhe4z6d283f is being taken out of context here? May be. he means that other things need us to develop for them? But again that will happen.
Of course it can be "just digital gold". He means it will be like gold was, hard to transport, centrally controlled(for the most part), unusable for day to day transactions.
I definitely think Bitcoin could, and probably will go this direction sadly.
Freedom, financial or otherwise doesn't interest most people. People would rather be "rich" slaves than free men.
No it will never be hard to transport, where do you even get that and Jack is not saying that either.
This isn't about how sad people are as to freedom, because yea they are. This is honestly about Gresham's law. Good money is held onto when shitty money is accepted.
If on chain tx fees are high enough it becomes "hard to transport" for people with small amounts(99% of people)
