This is one of the most important takes out there right now. If we want Bitcoin to be just money, we actually need to use it as money...not just hoard it and hope the incentives magically align.
Everyone’s worried about dev drama, but the real drama is what happens when the subsidy runs out and there’s no organic demand for block space.
Build, spend, transact ...or don’t be surprised when others shape the protocol for you.
