Like I understand those people, but it's a difference to say like, you know, don't spend your Bitcoin to saying that Bitcoin payments is a misfortunate, unfortunate part of, you know, the historical narrative and to be antagonistic to the use of Bitcoin as payments because that is a necessary part of the end game.
Like if you hear someone like Jack Dorsey talk about it, where he says like,
Bitcoin needs to be everyday money to work.
That doesn't mean that everybody needs to be paying for things in Bitcoin today, but as an end state or an end game, that needs to be the end game because otherwise, if Bitcoin was just locked up in a relatively few large institutions, it would be so centralized that it would not be resistant to censorship.
If it's not resistant to censorship, then the
The whole exercise is moot.
If it's not resistant to censorship, you've just recreated the fiat system.
If you can censor Bitcoin, it's too centralized to not be resistant to it.
You can alter one rule, you can functionally alter other rules like the fixed supply.
But where I'm going is that...
My view of it is, and again, I'm working on Bitcoin payments, but I'm also doing that for logical reasons.
It's part of the reason why, you know, I see this as problematic, but the vast majority of people are going to start to understand Bitcoin as money as they see it being used as money.
And so if you are, um, if your position as a company is antagonistic to that, I view it as problematic to
future adoption of Bitcoin to working.
Because for some people, only a certain number of people in the world will be able to sit down, read a book, listen to a podcast, see this very esoteric thing and be like, ah, yep, this is where the world's going.
I'm going to buy Bitcoin today with the idea that everyone else is going to come to a similar conclusion that this is the best form of money.
But when you can go down the street in Austin, Texas on a square terminal,
Right.
It closes the mental loop.
It's like, okay, I'm not using Bitcoin as money, but you can.
