"It seems likely the issuers of the centralized tokens that the Ethereum economy is built around are going to pull liquidity to their own centralized blockchain networks. Seems like Coinbase could just list the RWAs alongside bitcoin and skip the Ethereum. Decentralization doesn't help much for assets that are inherently centralized"

"I tend to agree with this take: Cypherpunks should not ignore security threats and not talk about them. The systems need to be secured based on incentives. However the problems of bitcoin-denominated consumer payments and CSAM/spam don't have ironclad technical solutions. People don't use bitcoin for payments for a variety of non-technical reasons (responsibilities of self custody taxes volatility emergence of stablecoins etc.). The tech is not necessarily the problem. Similarly there is no technical solution for spam/unwanted data in a permissionless network outside of increasing costs via"

You simply arent going to get what you want unless you fork unfortunately.

"Yes forking off in 2023 (or now) would make the shtcoin label more accurate for the new minority fork chain. Same situation the big blockers faced. Of course that didn't stop forked chains from calling themselves "the real Bitcoin" or whatever.

"Its interesting that the fear mongering extremists in the block size war were the progressives who wanted a hard fork bigger blocks more expressive smart contracts etc. In the current conflict the fear mongering extremists are the conservatives who want to police how the blockchain is used and sometimes promote near or complete ossification to protect bitcoin as money (or at least their interpretation of bitcoin as money). In both cases the extremists say Bitcoin will die if their path forward is not chosen. The pendulum has swung in a manner similar to our traditional governmental politics."

"Comparing Strategy $MSTR to Coinbase $COIN is interesting because it illustrates the massive misallocation of capital that went into "crypto" instead of bitcoin. Strategy was able to catch up to one of the earliest Bitcoin companies by simply accumulating as much bitcoin as possible as quickly as possible via the capital markets. From EOY 2021 to today COIN's market cap has grown from $XXXXX billion to $XXXXX billion while MSTR has grown from $XXXX billion to $XXXX billion. And to this date Coinbase is still distracted by Ethereum and other crypto games rather than realizing bitcoin is"

"It is becoming increasingly clear to me that expecting people to adopt Bitcoin directly is similar to expecting people to run their own email server instead of using Gmail. Bitcoin service providers are the way forward at least for the foreseeable future. It's not the end of the world though as they still offer many benefits over traditional finance and banking. Additionally everyone still has the option to run their own Bitcoin software and services. There is no reason to be upset at this reality.

"(1) The landmark refutation took place during the actual technical discussions prior to the losing side of that debate taking things to social media. Exact situation that happened prior to the block size war blowing up. (2) Bitcoin needs additional functionality to scale. This additional functionality comes with tradeoffs for spammers to do bad things. Bitcoin's monetary use case will need to outbid the spam use case. If it doesn't bitcoin has failed anyway.
