Oddbean new post about login | logout Sorry Chris, you don’t understand why Nostriches would want to remain anon - therefore your POV on any topic related to privacy belongs in the bin with all the other garbage. Should have considered this before shit hit the fan.
I like his point about just getting on with it though. For Bitcoin to really cross to mainstream people need to just flood the World with sats life. Then that will be the inflection point. It’s coming as people wake up to Bitcoin’s p2p fundamentals
That’s gonna take people who protect their real identities and don’t have a string of #Bitcoin opinions associated with it which would indicate they’re a HODLer for a period of time - they will become targets when it soars beyond gold and/or Govs get involved in earnest. Chris couldn’t see that far ahead. He went off on one from his Boomer lens because he hasn’t thought through where this is actually going. His opinion deserves the dismissal I gave it. It was peak muppetdom.
No, your 11-dimensional chess is too advanced for me!
Ok, I’m out before this becomes a twitter thread 🤙😂
Basic praxeology was beyond you. You couldn’t think 6 months ahead let alone 60 let alone 600. Low time preference Boomerism isn’t the future of Bitcoiners; you are the case study proving that.
You’re entitled to your opinion. To me, you just seem scared. But maybe you’re right, and I fucked up, posting under my own name! We shall see.
And you’re entitled to yours; yours just happens to be demonstrably wrong. I saw it a mile off and you can’t even see it as it slaps you upside the head, so you come in with rationalisations from your Boomer lens which have as much value as dogshit on a shoe.
No it isn't because the bitcoin is too complex and difficult to use for 90% of people. And if you have to use a custodial lightning wallet (which itself still has usability limitations) what exactly is the point in using Bitcoin at all? Might as well use paypal/visa.
