We all know the phrase "bitcoin fixes this". Let's make a list of the things bitcoin fixes. I'll go first:
  • bitcoin fixes retail electricity prices by using excess energy instead of wasting it. Mining at the grid should bring prices down for consumers, or help to pay for building out more power for more consumers.
What else does bitcoin fix?

I think this is a good concept generally to make a listical about but you'll run into the concept of vagueness/tangebility pretty soon.
E.g. Bitcoin fixes wage deterioration pretty tangibly and immediately. But on the other hand there are people who say Bitcoin will fix stuff like alcoholism which might maybe be true but if it is the effects will be intangible second order effects

Yeah, I was going to write something like "feel free to refute each others claims" but I thought that would happen anyway.

Bitcoin helps unbanked people to have a means of payment with all the characteristics of money at its finest.
It also solves the problem of the control of funds by banks and governments, as well as the limitation of expenditure and profit of the asset and its transportation within and outside borders.
reply
How do we bank the unbanked without scaling ownership? LN scales TPS, but not ownership of Bitcoin, we can bank the unbanked with other solutions, but changes to Bitcoin need to happen first.

  • Bitcoin fixes inflation problems: Due to its decentralized nature and finite supply of 21 million BTC, it isn't subject to the inflationary pressures of traditional currencies, where central banks can print additional money.
  • Control over personal finance: Bitcoin provides users with complete control over their financial transactions, making interference from third parties a non-issue.
  • Secure transactions: Bitcoin's cryptographic functions offer a secure form of peer-to-peer digital cash transactions.
  • Borderless transactions: Bitcoin enables quick and easy cross-border transactions with minimal fees, thereby smoothing out the operational inefficiencies in the global financial systems.
  • Unbanked population: It provides financial inclusion for those who do not have access to traditional banking systems, especially in remote and underprivileged regions.
  • Protects identity: Bitcoin gives the options to transact anonymously thereby reducing the risk of identity theft which is commonplace in traditional payment systems.
  • Reduces transaction cost: It can lower the remittance cost for foreign workers who need to send money back home.
  • Blockchain technology: Bitcoin's underlying technology, the blockchain, can be used to build efficient supply chains, transparent voting systems, and other decentralized applications.
  • Gaining control from the financial institutions: Bitcoin eliminates the need for middlemen like banks and credit card companies, reducing the power and influence of these institutions.
