> I think the difference is whether you think bitcoin needs either of us to market these demands to succeed.

I suspect we both agree that it doesn’t.

What I believe that bitcoin needs is people experimenting, so that they can reveal new usecases for it that may find product-market fit and help bitcoin grow. If that doesn’t happen, there won’t be new ways for it to grow, and I do believe that new avenues for growth are necessary.

Once those avenues are found, sure, marketers will pop up like mushrooms, and I don’t think marketers like us are particularly systematically important ;)

>they’re being built because there’s MARKET DEMAND

Of course, that's why you and I are both marketing towards different demands we see in the market. Yet, it's still just marketing and not related to what 'bitcoin needs.' 

I think the difference is whether you think bitcoin needs either of us to market these demands to succeed. Marketing towards any and all demands may help accelerate bitcoin's success, but it could also accelerate it's failure.
