Drawing a line in the sand.
Listened to GrassFedBitcoin (npub1wnl…n3wr) on WhatBitcoinDid (npub1pxy…7nke) petermccormack (npub14mc…frlx) and agree with them. I particularly align with Pete’s thoughts: “I just want Bitcoin to be the best money”.
A book I read a while ago supports a simple, disciplined approach to Bitcoin as money. It’s Essentialism by Greg McKeown. Here’s the brief summary from Blinkist if you haven’t read it:
Essentialism by Greg McKeown is a book about simplifying your life and focusing on what truly matters. It encourages readers to prioritize their time and energy by filtering out the nonessential and saying "no" to distractions.
Looking at the history of digital electronic cash and payments and the sources cited by Satoshi in the Bitcoin white paper, the clear purpose of Bitcoin is money, i.e. a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Bitcoin is the best money. That’s what will change the world and is what truly matters. Everything else is secondary to that. If anything takes away time or energy (e.g. blockspace) from that should be looked at as adversarial to the purpose of Bitcoin otherwise known as “spam on the blockchain.”
Luke Dashjr (npub1lh2…a9nk) appreciate the energy and money spent to produce Ocean Pool and to filter the spam.
