And yet that decision -- to dive more deeply into a btc economy -- is still a function of believing that it's a sensible thing to do, which in turn is based on a host of factors. But it's not like believing in the laws of physics, right? Or do you think that it is? Is it a pure determinism play for you?
Great question! I don’t think it’s like believing in the laws of physics - those are immutable. Whereas the blockchain technology governing Bitcoin is cast in stone and won’t mutate and throw curveballs at us Bitcoiners, diving deeper into a BTC economy requires a leap of faith. Things like trust in my ability to get paid in Bitcoin, trust that the merchants who accept Bitcoin payments will only increase with time (Thank you, Ferrari!) etc. but I think it’s about making a choice at the end of the day. Once we decide to live the Bitcoin Standard with conviction, we are determined to overcome all challenges associated with it, come hell or high water
