Ok, I’ve been orange-pilled. Almost anything negative you could say about bitcoin is a feature, not a bug.

Ladies and gents, just wanted to let you know that I’m new to bitcoin. I bought in February. One of the reasons why I’ve taken the deep dive down this rabbit hole is I’ve seen more principles in bitcoin and in this community than most of the subs I’ve visited. I try going to the cryptocurrency sub and all I see are ppl trying to shill the next coin or talk about the next “advancement” in blockchain tech. Talking about things that hardly matter in the short term.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of people obsessing about price here who don’t understand the asset they hold, but this is no longer a concern when you realize we are buying what is potentially the future world reserve currency.

I see that some devs come along every few years thinking they have a better proposition for cryptocurrency and some will blindly pile in without understanding what makes bitcoin irreplaceable. Hard money. Absolute scarcity with a monetary policy that has never and will never change on the whims of a central organization. Decentralization, immutability, and proven security. An unknown creator who stepped back from the project and passed the torch. And a strong community building innovative solutions such as transaction scalability and defi on top of the base layer protocol. And seeing the energy consumption as a strength that can help propel bitcoin adoption to fund renewable energy projects that otherwise would not have been built… This will change the world. This is a movement that has reached critical mass.

Some criticize this sub as extremist or like a religion. But I see that as a feature, not a bug. We’ll need to be true believers to spread the word and stay strong during inevitable challenges ahead.

Happy Friday and thank you all for everything!
