I never said Bitcoin was perfect or fell from heaven; that’s your strawman, not my position. I’m saying it’s a specific kind of infrastructure that lets anyone cheaply verify their own money and history, which is very different from ‘just another software project.’ It doesn’t have to be perfect to serve that role; it just has to be stable enough, verifiable enough, and widely used enough to be a real substrate. There are other projects that try similar things, but they lack the security, history, and adoption to serve as that substrate. If you want to argue against that model, do it directly, but yelling ‘it’s just software’ doesn’t touch the actual point.

Thanks for drawing extra attention to my position, though
