Well, Core must be motivated to deossify somehow, and implement the features and respect the design decisions that were outlined by Satoshi.
I believe that the solution that fiatjaf and others seem to support (and myself as well) is drivechains, which will be demonstrated in the upcoming ecash fork. I am not absolutely sure that drivechains are the solution, many people have outlined concerns with the need for miners to participate in governance, but I am relatively sold. Regardless, Bitcoin has benefitted immensely from past controversial forks (it might not exist at all if Bitcoin Cash hadn’t found and magnanimously helped fix the inflation bug for everyone) and we should encourage any honest and decent man of good character that earnestly wants to fork Bitcoin to demonstrate new ideas and continue to improve the software in parallel to core.
You can also help by simply refusing to use anything that introduces centralization in cryptocurrency and warning others of the problems. This includes, to my eyes, LN, but others have disputed that point given that you can, in theory, have decentralized, noncustodial LN, but in practice less than 1% of people ever will do so due to the inherent qualities of the protocol.
What does that mean? We chose something and we can never change our minds? No one should have a blind devotion to Bitcoin. Bitcoin was always only our best chance of fixing the problem of government monopoly over money issuance and related evils, not an idol to be worshipped.
If we spot something else that might give us a better chance we should definitely switch immediately.
With that said, Bitcoin is still miles ahead of anything else. If eCash proves to work even a little bit we may have a better chance of miners activating it on Bitcoin and that will be great.
If not, and if Bitcoiners don't come up with any better solutions (it is very unlikely they will, and even if they get a better solution it is even more unlikely that they will be able to activate it) that will mean that Bitcoin will die slowly over many decades. This will be bad as most people will not see it happening. Our only hope in this case is that eCash captures more users from outside the current Bitcoin sect and gets bigger faster than Bitcoin gets smaller. I guess this will have to happen anyway if it has any chances anyway.
Factual check ✔️ passed
WHAT ABOUT #SATOSHI COINS ? BURN EM' OR SPEND THEM? #ASKNOSTR
How many types ecash ?
Please explain.
