Oddbean new post about login | logout Unpopular opinion.. The dream of Bitcoin was over when Satoshi left. No body can function without a head
Tick tock next block. The network is stronger than ever and hash is up and to the right. Governments is just fud
It's a retarded opinion.
Buy some Ethereum then. Vitalik is still around
Thank God the head of the Internet is still around.... Oh wait. nostr:nevent1qqsrsnru3dxlaflruq8pkvuwlvgzxwjlzh0g97glsdpchhcanndna4gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqch7qfqkx5lf4sqecg0enwpg3afar5575tvxqef6va5s6arade8vqvzqqqqqqydg93ch

I think if u create the best product/user experience, the market will decide the optimal use case. Build better products = victory and eternal glory. Opinions are just that, opinions. Actions are what moves mountains. Satoshi provided the foundation, we either fuck it up, or use it to free mankind. ✊
Isn't the raison d'etre of bitcoin to essentially be the headless body? Isn't that the entire reason for it's existence? I think bitcoin (or any decentralized value) is supposed to, at it's core, eliminate trust in humans in favor of verification by trustless algorithms. As such, I think your opinion better applies to the world the decentralized cohort is attempting to exit.

Be the Satoshi you want to see in the world
WRONG!
Wrong
Gets people rekd, blames Satoshi 🤡🤣😭🤌🤡
Who's that bad boy? 😅
Paxful has gotten many customer funds frozen, in multiple locales I believe. If I'm not mistaken it was USA & Nigeria. Ray got ousted as CEO.
Wait. Wasn't the OP ironic? ☝🏻😅
I doubt it, this guy has some specially retarded takes & is now heading another company which does the same as paxful I believe. Let's see how that goes 😆
Thanks for the clarifications. I give people too much credit. That's a really retarded take. Bitcoin was designed to function without a CEO.
Very unpopular opinion, bitcoin is functioning and continues it’s steady growth without a central point of failure. We don’t need anyone to control our money, however we need people to continue building layers on top of a base layer (bitcoin) that doesn’t have someone controlling it.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
That’s literally when the dream began
Unpopular or retarded
cc @ratiowatch if they had a nostr KP lol
And why would that be?
I highly recommend the book: “The Starfish and the Spider, The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations” by Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom Not about Bitcoin explicitly but it talks about why centralized leadership in general reduces resilience and adds risk
nigga what lol
Nah you can’t be serious bro
First I don't think it's an unpopular opinion, as respectfully as I can say it: I think it's a stupid opinion. The dream of bitcoin STARTED when Satoshi left. Because the dream was a decentralized system with no one as the head. That said if you want a 'currency' with an HOA, they're easy to find.
You seem really disillusioned with bitcoin. Perhaps it's time to move onto something else? Like joining a mafia-state and becoming a dictator, like some of your idols?
you're free to go ahead and create something better
Ray your ego is hurt we can all clearly see it. However nobody cares. Go shitcoin, start a fork, etc.. in other words.. cry harder
+1. Fork off ray
Wrong
Did you hit your head on something very hard ?
Disagree. Bitcoin was a 0 to 1, a new paradigm based on decentralized consensus and censorship resistance. The conventional way of thinking that ideas continuously need a leader is presently being disproven by bitcoin working and increasingly being used. It's hard for people to understand this. This is also the reason why we as a society have no idea how bitcoin will change the world. That's what a paradigm shift is.
Satoshi leaving was the best thing we could have possibly asked for. He taught us how to be our own banks and then left us with responsibility. Bitcoin would never have be successful if it NEEDED a leader. That was the point.
Body can’t function without a head - that is true but not for every organism :) bitcoin is not like a human body - it is more like an octopus’s body (maybe there is a better analogy but I don’t have one now). octopus has its neurons distributed across the whole body, and 2/3 of all neurons are in its limbs. Octopus has partially decentralized nervous system 😊 so it’s not a perfect analogy but a decent analogy. Also imagine an organism which has fully decentralized nervous system. I can think of one , can you 😉?
I never left
