What if bitcoin does wind up being only accessible by nations or the uber wealthy? Maybe this falls short of what you have in mind but I believe hard money at the level of nations at least makes war less likely. That's not too bad.
I'm not really sure of the mechanism that would cause bitcoin to be unusable by individuals. Is it just that utxo's owned by ordinary people will be so small that fees will render them unspendable?
I think the genie is out of the bottle anyway, if not bitcoin, something else will come along for us average folks to transact in.
Jesus, 3 people going through that fucked up situation and I only read a few of the comments.
It is hard for me to understand how someone could fuck over other people like that, especially a spouse.
I don't have a smart phone. I need a good nostr web client. Any ideas?
I'm using Primal and Nostter, both seem buggy and slow. Between the two of them I can kinda get something working.
This might be out of place, sorry if it is.
My first exposure to the movie fight club was channel surfing. I caught the last 15 min of the movie. Totally screwed it up for me.
Help me understand why.
Why are individuals going to be able to posses and use bitcoin at scale? I'm pessimistic that if the price shoots up before mass adoption at the individual level, the bitcoin wealthy will be scapegoats.
A picture of bitcoin's trajectory is starting to form for me. In the future, I see bitcoin used primarily by nations with ordinary people essentially excluded.
This isn't all bad really, nations will use bitcoin to restrain one another. Perhaps it will make going to war for resources less productive.
Where am I wrong?
