- ossification : listening to a few nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp interviews has made me wary of what it means to only focus development on other layers and not on the base chain, and what it would mean if little by little we have few and few maintainer developers to make sure that the chain which may hold more than trillions in value starts to lose devs and people who can maintain the decentralized ethos and priorities in the code.

- base layer being self reliant: for the moment miners can rely on the block subsidy. But seeing how in these usd spike moments, transaction fees remain low… if development on second and third layer remain the way to make transacting on bitcoin cheaper, then I wonder how the incentive model will make sense for miners after no more block rewards (long timeframe, but still a fear 😅 for the legacy)

- self-custody blacklisting: the more paper bitcoin goes into circulation, and the more institutions want to hold bitcoin for you, I worry for self-custodial criminalization (make people have to choose to behave outside of the law) and the fact that may result in less and less ways to transact with your self-custodied stack.

Anyway, just some thoughts that sparked off listening to your pod :)

Enjoyed... nice to know we have some of the same fears! Get those mentioned methods implemented before it's too late! My greatest fear is nobody I know cares enough to learn how to recover mine after I die. I have tried explaining to everyone how everything works... goes in one ear and out the other(even my wife) Kind of hope nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as or some other foundations come up with some kind of plan to allow you to setup a way to just give it all to them.... really don't trust custodians though, so doubt that will work either..... Also, fountain is cool and all, but to boost you through there, you have to use their wallet, which is lame, especially since it has nostr integration...

In this episode nostr:npub10xxhztawwgtuapdej49q5jgfawu5p0f2j2tzuaxxww2hl546ct3sr7pcjl and nostr:npub197swtr3ymz7aw72tu7eqspxjta7zwcwf23uw4fxyxe2r2eyrfa2sdpner3 discuss our deepest, darkest fears - about Bitcoin that is! Even though we have both been involved in Bitcoin for years we have doubt and fears just like anyone else. So of course, being the Satoshi's Plebs Podcast, we discuss them. In addition, there are some fears that many new people have that we dive into as well.
