it’s more than just PRICE and VALUE. You’re ignoring the technology / capabilities / cryptography / privacy / self-sovereignty entirely.

That's stupidity. What you talk about IS value and it is conveyed through price.

If bitcoin is 0% supply growth+tech, That would require governments to continuously *contract* the money supply to be on par

Holding Bitcoin takes an insane amount of responsibility. Most people would rather a bank manage that. Only crazy assholes like us want to hold our own keys.

Yes but holding Bitcoin at a bank is still holding Bitcoin. This guy was proposing we hold state fiat that’s pegged to bitcoin instead

Also, once bitcoin stops deflating so rapidly, people will want a way to loan out their bits for an interest rate. I don't wanna search for/screen debtors and then try to collect when they dont pay. Banks are already set up to manage that. Custodian accounts have many benefits.

I think some Banks will survive + have new Bitcoin banks. Argument was whether we need “Central” banks

World has existed without central banks before, so that seems like a possible scenario. If they choose to adapt with a peg, they would have to do a series of major devaluations. There will always be people who want to sidestep the banks completely. But not everyone.

Obviously if they no longer have a monopoly on money their role changes. What my contention is, is that central banks, facing a hyperbitcoinization crisis, can choose to value stabilize in unison versus bitcoin, curbing its deflationary properties to what is handable.

Sure. Personally I think transacting directly with btc is superior, provided it can handle the throughput, but not everyone will want to take that responsibility/burden. The ? is what % uses BTC directly and what % uses fiat peg. 80/20 perhaps? (Fiat/BTC)

why have Fiat peg if we can have Lightning or even centralized solutions built on top of BTC like Square Cash etc.
