364 sats \ 4 replies \ @optimism 20 Jul \ parent \ on: Another Bitcoin company pivots to AI bitcoin

Bitcoin was never mainstream. Only whatever is believed to produce gainz has been mainstream. So, you see a lot of flipflopping gain-chasers shift to where those gainz are narrated/perceived to be at the moment. Currently, that is not Bitcoin. Which is great. Let them all go into AI. And then... idk... Moon bases or something.

Meantime, we build out and harden our sovereignty.

All along, the rocket to the moon was for the flipflopping gain-chasers...to get rid of them.

I think that since we shouldn't censor, and bitcoin is for enemies and all that, we depend on people to fuck off of their own accord. So this is exactly how it should be.

indeed, but this is never gonna be the most commercially advantageous option, indeed I'm not even sure when/if it would be commercially self sustaining

Oh you're right, but isn't peer-to-peer open network infrastructure commercially disadvantageous in principle? The one middle-man industry in finance is cut out by design, so now that NdgUm[1] - we're not even in a true bear market - the attractiveness to all the rent-seekers is diminishing.

Money itself isn't a business with Bitcoin; not ultimately. The business is everything else you do; you just get paid in Bitcoin for your products / services that ideally aren't even related to Bitcoin.
