Bitcoin is as much an idea as it is a technology.
Bitcoin adoption doesn't happen because the code is impeccable.
Bitcoin adoption doesn't happen because the tech is cool.
Bitcoin adoption doesn't happen because you can put pictures on a blockchain.
Bitcoin adoption happens because it is the best form of money we've ever seen, and because the people who figure that out tell other people about it.

The tech is needed. Bitcoin needs to function as money. The base layer (the chain) makes Bitcoin work as a store of value and in a limited fashion as a medium of exchange. Lightning and other L2s make Bitcoin a much better medium of exchange.
But the tech only matters because Bitcoin is money. If Bitcoin is not money, it's worthless.
The tech is the enabler, not the end in itself.
Yea
At the end of the day it’s about people
Its about bitcoiners
Yes, well said. Bitcoin was not built as electronic peer-to-peer jpeg storage. This usage is counter to the purpose of the tech.
