@MustStopMurad A couple Q's.
Since 2009, what's the biggest accomplishments for btc?
What's the biggest milestones in regard to a fully peer to peer system?
At what point will btc transactions for value exchange (purchase of goods & services) be more prominent?
BTC is already moving hundreds of billions to low single-sigit trillions of value per year. *BASE LAYER* is about huge financial settlement, not buying chips at a grocery store. (“Containers not Parcels”). Small tx’s, which are fine to sacrifice security for speed & convenience..

...will come from layer-2 systems. More importantly, I believe in the free market money *roughly* evolves like: 1. collectible 2. Store of Value 3. Medium of exchange 4. Unit of account Spending it right now unless you have to makes no sense, wait until higher ‘monetary premium’

I believe people prefer their day-to-day currency, i.e there MoE, to be more stable in purchasing power. For that BTC market cap needs to increase a lot, into the trillions. That will also reduce disincentives to spend, as no one wants to be the “pizza boy”

Thanks for taking the time. Can you speak more about base layer, financial settlements & what you mean by that? Particularly how that works in practice?
-
I strongly recommend you read this book which explains it step-by-step in great detail.https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central/dp/1119473861 …

The short answer is that Bitcoin isn't competing with commercial banks or Visa/Venmo/Paypal, but rather with Central Banks (currency issuance) and Bank of International Settlements (Central bank for Central Banks) which manages the large settlements between enormous institutions
