Once you see it...

To be fair, it is nuanced and there are a lot of evolving developments. But I agree that ANY form of censorship of the network should be met with upmost resistance in principle, given the introduction of human subjectivity.

We all have a Black Rock in our mind

Then comes the day

Staring at myself I turn to question me

I wonder: do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well?

Oh, things were quiet then

In a way they were the better days

But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen

Monkey see, monkey do, yeah

Fascinating to ponder.

My POV: just because we have information and a high-level of confidence doesn't mean we always rationally take action with that information. Yes, Bitcoin futures now have a large and liquid market, but it is still very reactive to narratives, and narratives are reinforced and amplified by actions (human and otherwise) not yet taken.

Even when that first action is 100% predictable (halving) , the results of the amplified narratives are unclear even when they might seem logical / clearly causal.

Humanity's understanding of Bitcoin is not priced in, let alone a specific event like a halving. Bullish. Also, I have no clue!

There are several people who work at banks who are there because they see it as the highest leverage (and perhaps only?) way to advance Bitcoin enablement and adoption. 👋

Caitlin is an absolute legend.

It's inspection time

Let me check your design

I see. The issue is a context-specific answer from a generalized statement.

"Optimal" is also completely subjective. Is it optimal for a company to dump pollution in a river? For their P&L, yes. For a broader set of stakeholders / context space, perhaps not.
