In this article it says that one day bitcoin generating cashflow will eventually develope. What will these be. does the author suggest what these might be in other articles ?
I know you , darthcoin are a citadel guy, but when and how does bitcoin start creating cashflow ?
is it when it becomes legal tender or defact legal tender everywhere ?
Is it when one can buy real estate for it and receive rents in bitcoin, returning the economy to real assets ?
Little late but...
I listened to that and they don't come off as religious at all.
The main point about excluding high risk or expensive demographics may still be true though. From what i can tell that selection process may have only been the early version, and they now reject fewer people as they are larger and bettern known.
I am not a customer as at the moment they could not help me. That's all i'm willing to say about my situation.
If they were, what would appeal to me the most is their negotiation abilities. If some of their marketing material is true, based on their nostr posts for instance, that alone, and their skills at reducing bills are worth it.

Dear Users,
Yes.
You're Welcome, so Yes.
Your counter arguments have exhausted rationality.
Eat Crow.
Taproot and Ordinal consequences, are exactly why we need one small change so that future changes are not left up a central priesthood of devs with limited neurons, but instead chosen by the consumer, with effects isolated to the consumer.
Core stays the same, the original rules we all chose to play by, stay the same.
POW, stays the same, Supply remains intact, which is quite conservative compared to what some of those in your camp are asking for with tail emissions.
There is no "users" or "we" there is only a "user", an individual.
The free market will always be more powerful than a planned economy, which is what we have now with a few interested and funded companies dictating the future of bitcoin on a censored platform like twitter.
A corporate fascist bitcoin. Cyber-Punk instead of Cypher-Punk. A theocracy of Brahmin that must be placated in a forum dominated by biased caste members. A college of bishops burning white or black smoke, ACKS, signaling where bitcoin can go and what it can do.
Or worse, changes must launch a political campaign to convince the mob. Democracy. Democracy has a long and studied history of predictable shortcomings and weakenesses. Democratic money, your node vote, will over time vote itself new supply.
Bring on alternatives; ARK, PRIME & Radiant and RGB, spider this or space that.
“We” like them, we want them, but they are, after years, either codeless concepts or impractical and custodial.
They are catch-up solutions to innovations and desirable features already executed on other networks.
Intitutional and national Dominance is around the corner. We don't have time anymore.
One small change, the addition of ** a single OP code ** enables innovation to happen on Bitcoin L2 without endangering L1. L2 affects are isolated. You never have to participate, but you benefit from a more secure network with broader and more encompassing userbase. These changes are OPT-IN, the way movie selection on a plane is user chosen, but we all arrive at the same destination.
Consider that you might be the recipient of a well funded marketing campaign by certain companies, devs and influencers who stand to lose a lot of money and time in research made irrelevant by the "more freedom" option. Their stance is explicitly that relying on state legal institutions for trusting your bitcoin is "better". Not very cypherpunk.
No one wants a contentious SF or MASF. "We" would rather your opposing arguments were original and legitimate. "We" would rather your were right, that this is a new dangerous idea by forces trying to harm Bitcoin, rather than an old and tested idea, with enormous amounts of documentation, software and actionable use cases.
Worthy of a Yes, and has been for years.
Signal like Telegram, is a honey pot.
Anything that needs your phone number or contacts is a joke on you.

Plugging my award winning article on Drivechains & Bip 300.
Foundational Narratives: Collapse of the Bitcoin Empire, A Polemic.
We describe parallels between real-life Paul Sztorc, DriveChain, LayerTwoLabs, Hari >Seldon, Empire and the Foundation from the book series by Isaac Asimov and the TV >series based on it. A humble servant of Empire (Toxic Bitcoin Maxi’s) discovers a troubling truth using his >skills in Psychohistory (Statistics). He announces the inevitable collapse ( or potential >for a collapse in Paul’s case) of galactic civilization. Hari then gathers resources to >build a refuge that can out-last and shorten the dark age, called the Foundation >(DriveChain/LayerTwoLabs). Hari Seldons actions and alarm invoke the dismissive >contempt and wrath of outsized egos and institutional personalities (Bitcoin Twitter).
I wonder what the most damaging or profitable thing to forge the signing key for would be on GH. Probably some wallet with large/frequent transactions and automatic updates.
We should all be moving off GH and onto Radicle.xyz the moment MS bought Github.
