Beautiful
Not really
it can both lose and win in certain aspects, we should win maximally.
It’s honestly not that complicated
It’s a store of value. You can use it as money. But it’s a store of value first.
Same as gold.
see bitcoin whitepaper title
Yea u can transact peer to peer. Like Gold.
Satoshi never said it has to be used for daily payments
it already is used for daily payments i.e. in Madeira where there are close to 150 merchants accepting payments via lightning.
yeah but thats so tiny
FYI I like bitcoin being used daily, especially the way it allows for zaps, but also it’ll still be totally fine if it isn’t
😂
Hahahaha
Yeah that has been my gripe with bitcoin.
I cannot let it become the thing it was supposed to destroy.
Random thought. The best thing I like about him is that he follows OMAD diet, meditation. His vices as a rich guy are not so bad.

DON'T judge a book by it cover. We appreciate that homeless looking here.
He only owns one tshirt.
didn't realize the game of thrones guy was a bitcoiner. sick!
What does he mean by "fail"? As a currency, indeed if it's not used it will fail.
But as a store of value, if people trust in it, it will not fail.
Store of Value what do you mean? What value is it storing?
I think the advantage of #opensource in general is time. Opensource projects do not try to win through breakthrough innovation and marketing. They win through consistancy and minimizing of failure.
When all other options fail in certain usecases consistantly, the critical mass is eventually met.
So I summarize: Opensource grows slow since no one gets external incentives to use it. But when the application has unbeatable advantages, people change eventually when they realize the advantage.
“payments are another form of communication.” ( same guy )
