The Cypherpunks like @adam3us weren’t able to connect the dots and invent #Bitcoin despite being experts.
It took a person/group like Satoshi with “range” and interdisciplinary vision to discover #Bitcoin .
Maybe Satoshi had “range” & interdisciplinary vision that Adam lacks.
The reason I say this now is because we have to Steelman #Bitcoin .
Drivechains are a clear modification to the miner Block Reward schedule. Changing miner incentives changes the game theory of #Bitcoin in ways we don’t fully understand.
To suggest we “need” Drivechains on #Bitcoin or that Drivechains will improve #Bitcoin before doing thorough building and/or testing of such a system feels very misguided.
We need to zoom out appreciate the #Bitcoin Goldilocks zone.
Also, side note… it is odd to me that so many of the famous cypherpunks are public facing and don’t use Nyms.
Szabo, Dai, Finney, Back, May… no Nyms?
Why doesn’t Adam Back use a Nym to talk about #Bitcoin ?
Surely his skills & knowledge would not be held back by using a Nym.
