100 sats \ 1 reply \ @Scoresby 15h \ parent \ on: What Do You Guys See As the Best Metric of Bitcoin Adoption? bitcoin
I can't argue with that quote from the white paper: that is what I want bitcoin to be. That's how I want to use it. You make a good point. Sorry it took me so long to get it.
Clearly the blockchain is the means. This also makes sense to me. I still struggle to see a world where bitcoin succeeds without full blocks, but I see that this is not the same as "full blocks are a proxy for bitcoin winning." Thanks for taking the time to help me work through it.
I am partial to the metric you proposed to the OP was people saying "pay me in sats" if I recall correctly.
No worries! I woke up early and fresh and it was much easier to clarify my point - so, my bad: shouldn't try to argue when exhausted haha.
I think it's what most of us that are in fact using Bitcoin - and arguably most stackers are doing that - want it to be an MoE, at least to some degree. That's also logical because that's how we use it and - at least to my early class of Bitcoiners - all it ever was anyway.
All the shitcoinery, from early "colored coins" to mastercoin (omni, which birthed Tether) to counterparty, was moved out, to Ethereum, which offers a solution to that. This was awesome, because no one that cared about the money-properties of BTC really wanted the crap on the bitcoin chain.
Bitcoin, not blockchain?
