I do not actually believe that. This post came from a moment of frustration, where I had just seen a bunch of meme and hype quote spam, and found it strange that most people talk about Bitcoin only in a present tense if they aren't parroting "1BTC=1BTC" or posting a meme or vague hype quote about how Bitcoin is the only logical future and how it will kill evil fiat. There's no substance in any of that. Along with this, I clearly don't understand money, according to many of the replies. I'm a newcomer to Bitcoin and Nostr and decentralized protocols and such in general, so my perspective is still trying to form, whereas everyone else apparently has known everything there is to know about all of this for at least 15 years (according to some guy who told me I was an idiot). So I knew I was going to get roasted, but it was a learning opportunity that I felt would be worth it.

I just want the weight of the potential impact to be reflected more in the discourse. I want to be able to talk about the intricate details and have thought experiments and discuss hypothesis with people for how things can *actually* happen, and things that *are* happening. I'm just sick of the memes and the hype quotes.
