Join Bitcoin University Premium: In this video, I discuss Bitcoin the Sword vs. Bitcoin the Swiss Army Knife. Bitcoin allows anyone in the world-- To send value To receive value To store value-- In a self-sovereign way. That's good enough. That's ambitious enough. That's a $500 trillion total addressable market. This is Bitcoin, the Sword. In an effort to add more functionality at the base layer to Bitcoin, we need to be careful that we don't unintentionally break Bitcoin's core functionality of being freedom money for the world. Destroying Bitcoin the Sword in an attempt to turn it into Bitcoin the Swiss Army Knife would be a disaster for humanity. It's not just the known unknowns that we should be worried about-- It's also the unknown unknowns and unintended consequences that we should be most fearful of. Even a tiny change to blocksize, miner incentives, etc could have cascading and possibly even fatal consequences for Bitcoin. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
