It’s really that simple 🤷🏽♂️
Okay that’s totally fair enough, yes Bitcoin on it’s path to ubiquity will function much like digital gold. Jack (and Chris and I) are making, I believe, the point that this is bigger than money. Bigger than a recreation of nation state, scarcity dynamics. Thoughts?
You may be right. But non of this, I believe, is the essence or spirit of what Jack D intended to mean. So while factually what you are sayin re: lighting may be true; it is possible that what is so confusing here in this thread is your misinterpretation of what he is trying to say.
It’s not an implication if he explicitly says it. Again, to echo Chris, it seems to me he is saying he doesn’t want scalability captured by ETFs, and custodian-only scaling solutions. Because that would be a recreation of the gold standard. In other words, more open source development, like Lightning, which scales Bitcoin globally.
To be fair, JackTheMimic, this is only a sub-minute clip taken out of its full context, and overlaid with your assumptions that he is referring to changing the baselayer. That is not said in the video. I will agree with you that all of the above is indeed semantics however.
Have to agree with Chris here. Some would say, myself included, that Lighting is Bitcoin because it is directly tied to UTXOs. I also don’t think Dorsey is advocating for changes to blocksize, and even if he was, incredibly unlikely to mean or amount to any protocol changes. I don’t know 100% - but am pretty confident here.
Keep these pieces coming 🙏
To paraphrase nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a: “Nothing stops this [soul] train.” 🚂 🧬 🫂
Perhaps this paradoxical gap that exists between what still needs to be done, and the perfection of where we currently are, is reconciled with vision, goodwill and gratitude (as nostr:npub1t289s8ck5qfwynf2vsq49t2kypvvkpj7rhegayrur0ag9s2sezaqgunkzs notes).
The biggest thanks comes from the bottom of my heart to this entire community for their devotion towards true freedom, connection and community. What a blessing.
