21 sats \ 2 replies \ @B_rian 16 Oct \ on: Parker Lewis' EXCHANGE THEORY OF VALUE (Why HODLing forever is asinine) bitcoin
Parker spends a lot of time explaining what other people should do but he does so in the permissioned hellscape of X.
An open, permissionless protocol is used for whatever people want to use it for. There are 2.1 quadrillion sats. Their use will always be determined by the sender and receiver. HODL or don't, bitcoin's use case will always be fluid and determined by UTXO private key holders.
If Parker truly believed in Bitcoin as money, he would be driving V4V on the nostr and not cucking to Elon on X. He chooses X over nostr because of engagement, because he needs to farm and monetize his audience. Don't be food for cucks.
Lol
I also am peeved he isn't o the nostr bandwagon yet
But quick question, does this change your mind, when he's finally a nostr maxi??
I actually agree with his assessment in this article

Nostr is a tremendous coordination layer for bitcoin based digital economies. If he truly believed what he was saying, he would live those values.
Because Parker doesn't use nostr and chooses X for reach instead, I conclude that his essays/books are tools to promote his business interests at Zaprite and not the general growth of bitcoin value.
But bitcoin cares not what he or I thinks. It continues without consent and resists any form of guidance.
