You, as a someone who CREATES DATA through transactions, are also a creative participant to the Bitcoin ecosystem, but in a lesser sense. Developers create code that miners and users use to read and create more data. Focus on who-creates-what in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

To relate this to music... songwriters, performers, musicians, engineers, producers, publishers, A&R, and distributors all add value to the music you listen to and enjoy. Quality always has a cost to it. That's 100% the same between industries.

That market price that you see going up every year is the aggregate result of the participation of each portion of the Bitcoin ecosystem and it doesn't matter if they are in harmony or antagonistic. .... kinda like the music industry.

Under appreciated in the sense that they are being made out to be the bad guys in an ecosystem that wouldn't currently exist without their sacrifices and they are rightly pissed off about it.https://twitter.com/bitchimlying/status/929917142719500288 …

They're pissed off because they like the way Bitcoin worked when they invested millions into mining it. They didn't think it needed drastic changes to scale then and they don't think so now.https://twitter.com/bitchimlying/status/929917940773908480 …

With 1,500+ BTC in mempool fees, that's not "spam". That's people doing stuff with a cryptocurrency at a market high. Let's not forget that $800 was still in the last 12 months.https://twitter.com/IcarusGlider/status/929928194224017408 …

Also, there's no "intended direction of development." Satoshi is gone. There is no direction but what we collectively decide. Some want the least modification from the vision they signed on for. Some want to evolve Bitcoin into something else. Neither is technically wrong.

I have heard many techy people say that scaling on-chain is ‘technically’ wrong if you value dectralization.

80% of the world’s population live on less than $10/day, excluding them from Bitcoin and its high transaction fees. Is that decentralization?

it’s centralizing Bitcoin to the Top 1%. but, hey, Lightning is coming! just look at the roadmap!
