- Normies don't run a node
- We do everything on L1
- L1 grows heavy
- Nodes drop off
- You trust public nodes
- Validation becomes specialized
- Custodial wallets dominate
- Regulatory capture becomes easier
- Bitcoin becomes financialized but not sovereign
- We still have one major client and its org and devs
- Miners decide the future of Bitcoin, because they are the only ones that has incentive to run nodes (which is a heavy process).
Everyone loses, including the ones in control.
quoting nevent1q…0fh4- bitcoin needs efficiency.
- bitcoin needs less bandwidth.
- bitcoin needs less storage.
- bitcoin needs less barrier of entry.
- bitcoin needs each user to be a node.
- bitcoin needs efficiency.
then layers like lightning and arkv2 or more.
- more nodes = more decentralized.
- everyone trusting their own full node they dont even realize they are running.
- isolated lightweight layers.
- tight and boring layer 1 timechain.
- amazes you with how easy its to run, not how many things it can do.
the good bitcoin future.
if we get the bad one, idk what we are going to do.
