31 sats \ 3 replies \ @JeremyRubin OP 10 Feb 2022 freebie \ parent \ on: I am Jeremy Rubin, author of BIP-119 CTV & Bitcoin Contributor, AMA bitcoin
I'm assuming you mean "bitcoin specific" and "jeremy rubin specific"... not sure anything happening in my world is mainstream.
I'd say that one thing that bothers me is that people think that I am advocating for CTV thinking it's some perfect supergenius design and everything else is Bad™. The reality is that I think CTV is a viable engineering/community Schelling Point for improving Bitcoin and I'm unsure of what would be better in that regard! I.e., I know there are limitations, but I think BIP-119 represents a low technical risk moderate benefit improvement, but I don't think it solves all problems.
addendnum: in terms of framing, I'd like to see Bitcoin development have a more pragmatic small-step improvement process that works agressively v.s. building big complex overhauls, and I think CTV is a good representative of what that process could look like.

Thank you for the insight and I appreciate your work towards enabling CTV!
For this question I meant more generally about any topic you see in the media - e.g. about privacy, about Bitcoin, about economy, about people... (I'm sorry if this is a question too out of scope :) )

eh yeah a bit out of scope...
but it is an AMA.
So let's go with narratives around decreasing the population growth and stuff... I think that consciousness is like the scarcest asset (scarcer than Bitcoin ;) in the universe and as a species it's incredible we can make more of it, so we should be dedicating a lot more energy into figuring out how to sustain 10x the number of people v.s. fighting about little stupid NIMBY issues.
