Bitcoin is not perfect for every possible money use case. The same way the discovery of electricity didn't fit every use case of energy.
You don't use electricity to push water, you can use electricity to push a propeller
Bitcoin is at least a million times better than any other form of private property system we ever had.
It will enable many propellers.
Well said.
I had a hat just like that at work and would always wear it when the corporate douche bags were walking around. I'd even walk up and introduce myself.
But you can use electricity to run a pump that can push water. ie layer 2

bitcoin is a core financial ledger
we have to build other ledgers, the best one existing is lightning
but people have barely scratched the surface of what is possible
it is highly probable that the bitcoin scripting language enables something nobody thought of yet that solves a huge amount of this problem, just as HTLCs solved the problem for implementing Lightning
the people who think We HaVe To ChAnGe SoMeThInG have no imagination or tenacity, no character
This is why I also believe that even "shitcoins" have their place. Sort of like how not all operating systems are the same but often designed as a tool for specific purposes.
100%. Money is a layered concept in the modern world, meshed together, and complex. Not fully a complex ADAPTIVE system (yet) but once we fully take the shackles off with a commonly used core ledger it might be.
Either way, we don't need 100% adoption of every use case to be the best money we've ever had.
It's not perfect, but people are trying to trick us into getting our bitcoins one way or another. Especially the crypto ones.
As with the internet's early days, we can't even imagine what will be developed in the future.
And the analogy is, it won't all be done using HTML code...
Who needs perfection?

The efficiency of Bitcoin is still being discovered and it may take time before it is fully appreciated.
In the meantime I'm doing my best to stay humble and stack sats.
"The bitcoin blockchaim can be anything , let the free market decide !" No it won't. The bitcoin blockchain will be sound money , it is designed and protected for this purpose alone, the free market has no say in that. Graffitti, games, poems and other forms of art and literature can go somewhere else.
😃 Key!
How dare you!
