psychotic drama queens ...
dancing on the graves of word-class devs leaving Bitcoin.

The irony. Can't make this shit up.

scam coins are marching on, and even fiat is evolving.
a centralized stablecoin on a permissioned chain

The post is even more ironic given that his claim to fame is a neobanker IOU mint/shitcoin layer, just as often used for stables/dollars as it is Bitcoin, and every bit as permissioned.

in a race

Not understanding Bitcoin at all would be fine, were they consistent with the Cashu larp.

Cashu is acceptable to most because its a potential means to settle at Bitcoin, USDC is no different than his ecash shitcoins. You can use USDC to buy Bitcoin just as you can use Calle's shitcoin mints to buy Bitcoin.

There's no race. The only feature of Bitcoin that really matters is the irrepliceable ∞/21M.

Let the world use Visa, Stables et al to move mundane amounts. It doesn't matter what people use for that, only matters that Bitcoin is the unit by which they are ultimately measured as the world reserve currency. How those mundane revenues are stored over time.

Tether and Coinbase hold more Bitcoin than Calle ever will, perhaps they understand something Calle doesn't.

building things that don't sacrifice decentralization and self sovereignty is hard

Indeed, but Bitcoin doesn't need these things... Bitcoin is. Bitcoiners who maximally want to leverage its benefits do.

These tools are useless to people that don't care to maximally leverage its benefits.

the real question we should be asking is what us the minimum number of people we need to use Bitcoin so that it retains robust censorship resistance?

Emphasis on retains.

If no new tools were built for Bitcoin, would the censorship resistance go down from here?

Or does the gravity-well of liquidity and network-effect trap everyone in its orbit while pulling even more towards the singularity?

The number of Bitcoiners who have never read this is too damn high.

Hey Justin, guess what (and obviously I am NOT Calle just a rando)...
GFY.

Where's your cashu? Where's your Bitchat? Oh wait YOU don't have one. You like to come to Stacker News and promote the idea of Bitcoin as a "reserve currency" blah blah blah that the "powers that be" are preparing diligently for... because the American administration is "full of Bitcoiners..."

Total bullshit. And you know it.

Bitcoin needs users, it needs good UI, it needs better privacy, and it needs better education things that people can actually can use today and have a good experience with.

Cashu's not perfect, but it eviscerates stablecoins or exchange accounts in every way and is a great tool people can use today, unlike anything else out there. Bitcoin needs practical solutions today not more geo-political bullshit circlejerking that frankly you and others propagate while offering zero solutions.

Thanks.

Sure.

Where's your cashu

Lightning.Pub

Where's your Bitchat?

Nostr only exists because of my merging Lightning and GUN in the original ShockWallet and Lightning Pages

Oh wait YOU don't have one.

How little you know.

preparing diligently for

So cute, you belief the lone wolf anon fairy tale. What did Santa bring you this year? Easter bunny on the way soon?

Bitcoin needs users

It has users, including many of the largest capital allocators in the world.

It needs good UI

Only a cohort of prospective users do. Institutions use RPCs.

it needs better privacy

It was literally designed to be transparent to track patronage networks and state-scale reserves.

it needs better education

Obviously since you don't seem to know the first thing about it.

have a good experience with

NGU is the the experience.

eviscerates stablecoins

[Same Picture]

Bitcoin needs practical solutions today

Bitcoin has all it needs.

Bitcoin users, that want to take full advantage of it, need things... but none that change its inevitability of being the world reserve currency.

Virtue signal harder next time.
