Will talking about that help though? Economic activity doesn't come from talking unless it's a contract negotiation. So let's just do it. I already demand payment in L1 whenever I take a gig to fill up the reserves. More people do that, we get more transactions on L1...

No. but i think bs has a way of permeating any environment, and it doesn't help. eventually reality sets in and the BS makes a system weaker, not stronger.

the 'bigger risk' to bitcoin isn't bitcoin core or jpegs (and i believe that btc core's approach has been very thoughtful over all?) it's irrelevance.

negligible layer 1 usage kills bitcoin *eventually*. Not today, not tomorrow, but it does *eventually* because it [btc] can't only be a store of value for institutions and for 'NGU' forever.

lightning works, coinjoins work and are extremely cheap, and yet at 1 sat/vb clearly the 'demand' to use Bitcoin isn't there. This is a much bigger deal and it would help to have the smartest people in this space talking about *it* instead of whether there are frog jpegs at all of 1 sat/vbyte.
