Thanks for linking that! It provides some helpful points.
I think my current position is that, at the very least, I need to know enough about Bitcoin to be able to receive and transact in it. If it is truly a currency, then doing things to earn Bitcoin will ultimately be more important than buying and holding stacks of it against some possible future.
Which takes us into the next point, that for Bitcoin to avoid becoming just another speculative asset, people need to start treating it like money. Nostr and Lightning are pretty cool because they are starting to create a market for people who want to actually treat Bitcoin like money. But people gotta buy fully into that project.
