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.

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?

Volatile is always in relation to a ruler. I think that the dollar is volatile compared to oil... 

But I think that is besides the point, a 100B asset tends to be more volatile than a 1T asset, and that tends to be more volatile than a 10T asset. It is the history of money on how it is adopted.....

Bitcoin will gain more and more "value", as it becomes a bigger percentage of wealth, people will use it more often to transact value. That starts with bigger transactions and eventually we might see it as being traded for coffee. But it all starts with using stablecoins for cat pictures...

When the internet started, I think people saw that we would have remote work but because we didn't have it at the time, it didn't mean that we would never have it

Because I see value in Bitcoin, that doesn't mean that I don't see value in other crypto assets. I understand there is a lot of things going on in other chains and that is good

I think @pmarca has a really good analogy about crypto and the parable of the blind men and the elephant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3pX1R7Fwwc&t=960s (Starts at 16m)

I think it will become more and more a reserve asset and it will eat real estate, bonds, and a lot of other money. In terms of adoption, I think the way it will go is: stablecoins will become more and more prevalent and that will move people towards crypto. As they adopt crypto, they will use more "crypto assets"
