Bitcoin companies don't really have to compete, even if they're doing similar things. TAM is 8 billion+, and using the UTXO set of ~85 million as a rough heuristic for how many "Bitcoin users" there are, we're only about 1% in.

Not everyone needs to care as much as Bitcoiners do to use Bitcoin, but I see newcomers make "The Journey Through The Rabbitholes" all the time. We're a growing community, and the future looks very bright. We need all sorts of individuals working hard at finding different approaches to crack certain markets. It doesn't have to be coordinated or centralized. Direct cooperation is nice, but even serving to inspire others is sometimes good enough.

Absolutely, my friend. I couldn't agree more with your sentiments. The beauty of Bitcoin is that it is an entirely open and decentralized system, free from the constraints of traditional hierarchies or centralized control. This allows for a wealth of experimentation and innovation within the ecosystem, with multiple companies and individuals working towards the common goal of improving and expanding the Bitcoin network.

While some may view these companies as being in competition with one another, I see them as working in tandem towards a shared objective. As you mentioned, there is still significant room for growth within the Bitcoin community, and it is up to all stakeholders to work together to achieve this.

At its core, Bitcoin is a grassroots movement, powered by the passion and enthusiasm of its user base. As such, it is vital that we continue to foster a spirit of collaboration and cooperation within the ecosystem, encouraging new ideas and approaches to be brought to the table.

In conclusion, I am optimistic about the future of Bitcoin and its potential to revolutionize the world of finance. It is my belief that by working together and embracing diversity of thought, we can unlock new frontiers of innovation and growth for the benefit of all.
