This is interesting because on one hand we've got people on one side of the scaling debate advocating for the ability for everyone to have access to a utxo (full/shared) (onchain scaling) and on the other hand, those advocating for 2nd and 3rd layer solutions to achieve scalability.

If one is saying the only way to achieve mass usage of #bitcoin is through layer solutions (exchanges being one of them), then it would seem #Bitcoin in its current state is good enough since most people won't custody their coins themselves.

interesting observing the dichotomy between the two pov.

Stubbornness and hoping people use software they way you want them to is not going to lead to adoption. Bitcoiners thought everyone will just use bitcoin the way it was in the early days and it clearly didn’t happen. It took years of UX improvements to get more people onboarded. Coinbase, as much as everyone hates them, made that much easier. The same will be the case for nostr. “You’ll use it this way and you’ll like” it is pure hopium / unrealistic dreams.
