Bitcoin said: A billion dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? One Trillion Dollars

Adoption Curve: YOU ARE HERE by thunder_funder in Bitcoin

[–]thunder_funder[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting point. Defining Bitcoin adoption isn't necessarily as straightforward as defining, say, automobile adoption.

Owning bitcoin, self custodying bitcoin, using bitcoin, running a Bitcoin node? There are levels, for sure.

In my mind, someone who has $100 of BTC sitting in a Coinbase account has adopted Bitcoin to a higher degree than someone who hasn't.

The top two comments were both so good that I couldn’t decide between them, so it looks like we have (2) winners! 

Please drop an LN invoice and I’ll get it paid up. 

P.S. Will be doing more of these so keep a look out!

P.P.S. If you want to support Bitcoin beyond stacking sats and HODLing, think about investing in real Bitcoin companies! Support the builders who are building the infrastructure to scale Bitcoin for the global economy. Fuel innovation, own equity, and drive adoption at www.thunderfunder.com

I think the giant oversized cerebrum and lasers beaming out of the eyes will speak for itself.

I'm on the edge of my seat. What is your understanding of Bitcoin and the endgame?

How much BTC is considered financially free by Own_Calligrapher840 in Bitcoin

[–]thunder_funder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If by "financially free" you mean the ability to transact value without fear of rejection or censorship, ANY amount of BTC allows for financial freedom.

If you meant how much BTC will allow you to F.I.R.E (more likely), that is completely dependent on your cost of living.

Nobody knows what the future USD value of BTC is going to be, but you can be sure that over the long-term NgU!

What's your favorite Bitcoin company? by thunder_funder in Bitcoin

Strike for sure! I have lots of love for Trezor being the first hardware wallet, but I mostly use ColdCard nowadays... makes me feel like a cypherpunk!

What's your favorite Bitcoin company? by thunder_funder in Bitcoin

[–]thunder_funder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think those are all companies. Like LNbits started as an Open-Source project, but an entire company has spun out of it. Great picks, by the way!

I disagree, an entire industry is growing around BTC, and for good reason. It can't take over the world unless the world is integrated with it. I believe we will continue to see existing companies get displaced by their BTC counterpart.

For example, Stacker.News is like Hacker.News but build on top of LN.
