Adoption by large institutions, governments, central banks, and hnw clients
As long as inflation exists and central banks and commercial banks continue to print money through fractional reserve system, Bitcoin’s primary use case will remain a store of value.
Increased transaction volume due to adoption
We built lightning to make bitcoin transactions faster and cheaper. but once congestion on layer 1 eased, we started complaining about empty blocks. Eventually, layer 1 will become significantly more expensive and will primarily be used by central banks and large institutions.
It was too precise and spot on. This response structure could be a great use case for bots btw 🤣
Can’t zap you btw
Holy shit! 🧡🤙
I believe this is a more realistic path to a Bitcoin economy compared to the idea of magically transitioning from fiat to it overnight.
I believe the complete opposite. Stables help bitcoin adoption enormously.
Probably the best use case for stables.
Here in Brazil we have DEPIX, I think is awesome to buy BTC via P2P, not using any exchange! 💪🏾🤘🏾😎⚡️
Another perfect use case!
This is exactly the use case for many underdeveloped and emerging countries.
I’m not sure why some bitcoiners are so opposed to the idea of stablecoins coexisting with bitcoin. The idea that we’ll suddenly transition from fiat to a pure Bitcoin economy overnight is a fantasy. Real adoption happens in steps and stablecoins are part of that bridge.
Saylor is front running the entire world in real time. By the time it’s too obvious, it’ll be too late for most.

everyone’s saying “nostr can’t win by being a twitter clone”. fine! but no one ever goes on to say what that actually means. so let’s talk.
maybe it means:
-built-in value flow (zaps) isn’t a feature, it’s the core.
- identity that you own, not a username some corporation grants you permission to use.
- open algorithms. not just a single feed, but infinite feeds you get to choose from.
-censorship resistance by design, not a cheap PR talk.
- clients who don’t pursue ad dollars, but represent you.
nostr doesn’t need to reimagine what “posting” means, but it must reframe the rules, the incentives, and who’s at the helm.
now the real question: how do we discuss that? how do we market something this different and unique?
- don’t say “it’s like twitter but decentralized”. that’s weak and does it a disservice.
- feature real stories: creators supporting themselves, devs creating crazy new clients, people connecting without intermediaries.
- if nostr stays as the curated bitcoin community in people’s mind, it will not win.
- make the strangeness and weirdness a feature. lean into the notion that this isn’t for everybody (yet), but it’s for you.
- design onboarding that’s like joining a movement, not just another app.
- let the community be the brand: open, messy, weird and real.
just my two cents…
