Millions of people worldwide are securely & happily holding ~$1 Trillion worth of bitcoin.

This is the only thing that matters: market success. If you think btc failed because it hasn't fulfilled a theoretical ideal you project on it, you're the one who failed to understand it.

There is an endless list of things that bitcoin is not. You're not being smart by pointing some of them out. You're being a pig-headed idiot for refusing to understand what things make it successful. It's really not hard if you'd stop trying to be a smartass & think.

"Apple failed because it cannot provide me with artificial girlfriends"
"Amazon failed because it cannot deliver to North Korea"
"Bitcoin failed because it's too volatile"

Same stupid energy.

Build a better Apple, Amazon, or Bitcoin or have fun staying irrelevant.

Millions of people worldwide improved their life & achieved financial security by holding bitcoin.

For years @nvk has built products to help them while navel-gazing fiat intellectuals find stupid reasons to try to stop them

Keep listening to them & HFSP!

Normal human brain:🤔 "Bitcoin has grown by every conceivable metric in 12 years? Why?"

Fiat-education-damaged human brain: 🤡"My theories & preconceived notions suggest bitcoin can't work, so let me explain to the world why reality is wrong."

Case in point: chief economist of the IMF has theories and credentials and expertise that explain why reality is wrong

Fiatbrains can't imagine a world in which human action, not government dictates, shapes reality. They can't imagine that bitcoin will be adopted by the market; they believe government will be the one to decide its fate based on intellectuals' judgment.
