If #Bitcoin becomes the backbone of the global financial system, how is that NOT a win? I understand the privacy and custodial concerns and I agree with him, but I’m also a realist. If we can use Bitcoin and have lightning for day-to-day transactions, anything, and I repeat, ANYTHING is better than this dog shit USD system.
I’m very libertarian, of course I love privacy, but be realistic. I think Monero is great, just like Bitcoin. But if Bitcoin becomes mainstream, saying it’s pointless is a little ridiculous. Do people not realize how much better things would be on a Bitcoin standard, even with custodial lightning wallets? Self-custody would still exist. Custodial stuff would be for normies. But again, be realistic. A minarchist or ancap paradise is never going to happen.
