nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Jeff, you frequently emphasize the importance of Bitcoin remaining decentralized and secure. Given your deep investment in this space, could you elaborate on the specific risks you perceive that might compromise either of these foundational aspects?

The reason I do that are twofold - 1) so people do their own work to understand how each of us (as nodes) ensure decentralization. (We would not vote against our own self interests) and 2) because of the power of the existing system over us, how that impacts our actions, and how most people are really bad at seeing 2nd and 3rd order effects.

In other words, “WE” each matter in keeping bitcoin decentralized and secure BUT human action (unable to see what can be better solved at layer 2 and 3’s) will fight to solve their own thing on layer 1 - eventually with a ton of money behind them to “try” to market to “us” why it is critical. Drivechains is a good example with a small amount of “marketing”.

That is the only risk! Or simply said - We are all #Satoshi.
