Yes, I am making a lot of assumptions about you. Feel free to correct me when I’m wrong. 

Anti-fragile doesn’t mean invulnerable, right? I don’t get where all this magical thinking comes from. We don’t need to defend the protocol because nothing can hurt it? 

I hear this a lot. It feels like some people are stuck in a fantasy game. No, our lord Satoshi did not speak the magic words and did not imbue the protocol with a magical shield. It’s up to you, me, and the rest of the community to defend it. 

Yes, I want payments too. I want many things. Keep in mind that we’re playing the long game here. We have a low time preference. Who said that we should have payments by now? Maybe your children or grandchildren will finally implement payments on bitcoin. 

People need to stop imposing they mental schedule on bitcoin. Let it develop and take over the world as it will. Just protect what matters so it has that chance.
