Innovation often precedes widespread demand. Nobody wanted lightning in 2012. Nobody wanted an iPhone in 2001. "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." -Henry Ford

For all the non-developers debating protocol changes on bitcoin please read the following to learn how software development actually works.

Remember that in order for bitcoin to succeed your enemies must be able to hold it as well. This includes nation states.

Every cycle the ethereum scammers are out in full force with something new to sell you. First with "the world computer" then ICOs, then DeFi, then NFTs. Now their latest scam is DeSci. Yah, decentralized science. Stay as far away from this scam as you can.

Time in the market > timing the market, a phrase that you can break down into just one word. Conviction. This will also determine how long you can hold your bitcoin. So how much conviction will you have? Well this depends on how much you are susceptible to your ego. If you are more susceptible then you'll do less research, experience more fear during price drops, explore things like MSTR and altcoins, and ultimately care more about being right than being useful. This is not the way. Good luck.

Reminder: MicroStrategy owns 0 bitcoin. They own coinbase BTC IOUs. source:

"Ossification is complacency. Yes, we all agree that Bitcoin is great. But I do not agree that Bitcoin has reached its full potential. I think complacency is one of the greatest threats to Bitcoin - we must not rest upon our laurels." - @Jameson Lopp
