To be clear I also said that it _does_ have potential as a store of value. The BTC network can't sustain thousands/millions of TPS, although BTC can be xfered on lightning/L2s/etc.

FT: Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, said that Bitcoin has no future as a payments network because of its inefficiency and high environmental costs. Countries such as El Salvador and the Central African Republic have adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender. ft.com/content/02cad9

honestly? It's a big mouthful to repeat the whole set of ways that BTC can be transferred each time I'm asked the question, and I'm asked it a *lot*; some of the sentences I say won't include the word "lightning".

yeah so I do usually say something about lightning in these interviews--the problem is that, in the *same interview*, I end up saying something like 12 different sentences, and to avoid them being able to quote me out of context I'd need to say it 12 times

I think it's simple --- if you really think there is anything negative in #Bitcoin, go for a long form to clearly state it -- if you say anything negative in a line, MSM will make that headline without the context! Btw, there is absolutely nothing negative, zero, in #Bitcoin,
