The BTC is Digital Gold analogy always falls short for me. Gold competed with a limited set of elements on the periodic table for SoV. BTC competes against the full universe of possible software designs. Gold can afford to stay static. BTC must evolve or die.

You don’t think there’s value in predictability when considering a SoV?

Yes, but the value of predictability drops significantly in the medium to long-run.

But the perception of predicability is what's important in the short to medium term. I don't want the characteristics of my preferred SoV to change frequently.

There are fewer than 300 *real* legit protocol engineers. Only so many people can build these things. I think they are probably the most scarce asset.

Agreed. But what does that have to do with predictability as a feature with respect to SoV?

Sorry dont know why I commented directly under your thread :) I meant to say the design space isn’t limitless, and at be end of the consensus for SoV will have to be a global choice between <5-10 serious options. I think BTC is a superior SoV to any smart contract platform.

Bitcoin's resistance to change (to a degree) is one of the best qualities it has. Utility platforms on the other hand are the opposite. They must evolve or die. In this way, it's contradictory to optimize for both SoV and utility.

I agree. I think Bitcoin *should* move slow. SoV(s) should move slow after. certain point. That’s one of the reason that makes it a SoV. These are MONEYs, not Silicon Valley funny-noise apps which should move fast and break things!
