LogicallyMinded on Nostr: Scaling and privacy are the two missing tech capabilities for #Bitcoin to be more ...
Scaling and privacy are the two missing tech capabilities for #Bitcoin to be more widely used as a medium of exchange. Fees have been spiking during every cycle but I’m not seeing a lot of willingness to scale Bitcoin. For privacy tech, I’m afraid it will remain a niche theme for a while still but at least the current events shows that privacy tech has to be as decentralized as possible. Interestingly, I think #drivechains may be the most interesting option to handle both scaling and privacy but it seems to have received very little support from the plebs. At some point, the plebs is going to have to wake-up if they want to make Bitcoin more resilient to adversarial attacks.
