honest question: is there anyone on here who has a concrete, positive vision for Bitcoin?

i far as i can tell they are in a tremendous pickle.

this (https://twitter.com/TimBeiko/status/1655629344088408064) + a STARK opcode would make it pretty good!

wow, intriguing answer. keeps the 21m meme intact, lets bitcoin compete as a base layer, provides long term security budget. i love it

nobody uses it as money. i used to buy coffee in Bitcoin at Coupa Cafe in 2013... felt futuristic at the time. people have been trying to make lightning happen for almost as long.

nobody wants to pay in a volatile asset. (exciting, might 10x) and (money) occupy separate brain slots.

how do you see that changing?

i'm not trying to roast you specifically, but this is exactly what i see a lot of in the remaining bitcoin community

> Atomic Clock for Value Networks
> Thermodynamic Security
> No Second Best
> Digital Gold

marketing terms, undermined quite fundamentally by the security-budget issue

I think it’s biggest advantage is that it can’t do anything other than describe a value, it’s like an atomic clock for value networks.

short term: Bitcoin etf so pension funds can ape in

long term:  🤷‍♂️

I’m really enjoying the phrase tremendous pickle in this cast. 10/10 would like again.

- #1 proof of work chain that keeps power grid healthy

- Drivechain-enabled sidechains generate more tx fees and thus keep security budget high enough

So long as the market continues to view it as a store of value, I haven't heard a compelling reason for why volatility would NOT decrease to n inconsequential level as scarcity and price increase.

Idk this is why I love BTC. we as web3 natives(fk that sounds cringe) see it as a pickle. TradFi sees it as a scarse asset to manipulate to their benefit. BTC game theory holds

it'ssss fiiiinne! <- positive enough? 🙃

I suppose on warpcast there are only expert crypto people. So I suppose everyone here prefer BTC in bearish mode for accumulate.
But for the long term I suppose everyone is bullish

Bitcoin is designed on unpopular values: resiliency over usability

It’s a deliberate choice based on an incredible understanding of how “trustworthy” money worked historically

The only viable narrative of BTC is that it's digital gold

And that's not a bad thing

The same with NFTs, if you remove the price chip, it's really useful, think about your driver's licence on a blockchain, cannot be hacked, it's unique and yours. A real estate title can be transfered over different wallets when you buy a house for example. A music show ticket, etc. it's powerful invention

I feel that it's important, the first crypto in the world, set the standards for the future, real use case of the blockchain technology, it was not created to be compared to fiat

We need to start thinking about how to apply Blockchain technology to leverage the human being an not try to think as a "price"

Isn’t it just an excellent store of value that some of us are desecrating (ordinals) just because we can?
