Bitcoin might be the best collateral humanity has ever invented. Instantly verifiable, instantly transferable, never freezes, never defaults: 👉🏻 Houses take months 👉🏻 Stocks have restrictions 👉🏻 Gold needs trust ... Maybe we’re still thinking way too small about Bitcoin. In today’s episode, we break down a powerful chapter from Bitcoin is The Ultimate Collateral to explore why Bitcoin’s perfect digital scarcity, portability, uptime, and auditability make it fundamentally different from every legacy form of collateral.

"As far as I can tell, yes, there might be a little more OP_RETURN used with a policy that's more lenient, but any bytes that go into OP_RETURN are probably bytes that don't go towards inscriptions. Those are the main competitors. I think their payments are pretty small. They have more economic density per weight, in my opinion. They will price out this spam. If you look at the prices for this stuff, they're down 30x from the top. Overall, the trend is this goes to zero—and then people stop doing it because it's expensive." ~ Murch Listen to Chat_151 - Bitcoin Technically, Ideologically, and Actually with @Murch on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain: https://fountain.fm/episode/Azb62tIysXWUZH785w2M 🔗 YouTube: 🔗 Rumble: https://rumble.com/v720cmo-chat-151-bitcoin-technically-ideologically-and-actually-with-murch.html

"I do not know of anyone contributing to Bitcoin Core that is interested in anything else than just using Bitcoin as money. But that doesn't mean that it can only be used for money. And now there's two ways to react to that information. One is "but I only want it to be used for money" and then try to make it so. And the other one is, “well, how are they doing that and what can we do about it? And is it worth the effort of fighting this? How much harm is it? How much effort would it take to fight it?” Even if we all want this to be money, just being upset about it without a plan is a lot of energy towards not necessarily a solution." ~ @Murch Listen to Chat_151 - Bitcoin Technically, Ideologically, and Actually with Murch on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain: https://fountain.fm/episode/Azb62tIysXWUZH785w2M 🔗 YouTube: 🔗 Rumble: https://rumble.com/v720cmo-chat-151-bitcoin-technically-ideologically-and-actually-with-murch.html
