So, does it matter that Bitcoin seems to be moving away from its cypherpunk roots with the arrival of Bitcoin ETFs and Treasury companies?
I asked @saifedean this very question at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
His answer might surprise you 👀👇
"If you have very strong feelings about how people should and shouldn't use Bitcoin, you're in for a rough time,” Ammous said.
"To be honest, a lot of people project too much onto Bitcoin. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of software and anybody can use it in any way they want. Initially, it's a small subset of people that use it and then they start projecting their values onto it. And then over time, they expect it to continue to abide by that.”
"If it's a successful technology, it's going to be used by everybody. It's going to be used by small businesses, large businesses, governments, individuals. It's money. Everybody uses money. There are 8.5 billion people on Earth, they all use money and they're all going to continue to use money. And Bitcoin is just the best money."
I’ll be dropping the full interview right here on Nostr. Please 🧡&🔂
