The fact there are multiple visions and ways of using this chain is derived from it's true nature, a really decentralized system that needs a consensus for upgrades and things take time. It's for centuries to come and there will be hiccups on the way. It's definitely a monetary network (p2p) and some started treating it as storage what does not mean a few years from today it won't be clarified and clear where we are heading to. Silent Payments is a very clever upgrade that only starts getting its way into wallets Ark resolves some custodian issues with lightning network Cashu/ecash is not necessarily best solution as requires trust but most recent development allows for millions of txs in single direction channel and it's very impressive The society end large has been programmed to delegate their own powers to others. With bitcoin we need to take a responsibility over our own seed and this takes effort and mental work many are not prepared for today. Many chains embraced the oligarchy by moving into proof of stake, as that is the comfort zone. They chose to delegate their decision power to others like they do in Democratic system. The digital natives, border less communities online should strive to keep the privacy and decentralisation in check. We should champion all solutions that bring freedom of speech and freedom to trade with anyone we want For Bitcoin to thrive people need to adapt to the new reality. We have come a full circle on Internet, from everything self hosted to the cloud and back to the self hosted content and now the bank. Building a monetary system on opensourcred code makes sense, as a society we just need to step up our game and become more responsible. There is no better way than building on proof of work, there is no stronger network than Bitcoin and never will be. We just need to keep building. Keep educating and improving. For this reason we are promoting NOSTR as we recognised it's strength as a protocol for decentralised apps and bedrock for both local and global communities. It's very early days but it's a great feeling to be ahead of the curve and be a part of something that shapes the human race for the next millenias.
