We’re getting really meta now. God made his NFTs (us) and now we’re making our own.

There’s about $6.5 billion in bitcoin being transacted daily. Not yet the masses but far from nothing.
Merge trading secondary at over double mint price so far (was 5x earlier)
Merge has a critical bug and it sounds like they need to re-mint the entire collection and refund millions of dollars in secondary sales.

The best part about this is how they consistently maintained (to the incredulity of everyone) that the reason for the delay was so that everyone had a fair chance in the marketplace, which ultimately culminated in the collection being released from lock at [checks notes] 3:20 AM EST on a Thursday, and not concerns about a major mistake with the project that would cost NG a ton of money.

Any cliffs on middle of the night shenanigans?
10m isn’t fast. 10s isn’t fast. And it’s not just speed that matters at scale, it’s throughput. Bitcoin can do like 4 transactions a second. Eth 16. Visa does 1700.
And idk how you think an irreversible transaction is less risky than a credit card or bank account.
Look at the speed/throughput issue this way: if you want an electronic token people can trade between themselves (a currency), a ledger has to be kept. Keeping that ledger in one conventional database is always going to be faster than distributing it over thousands of computers. This is an immutable law of physics. Nevermind proof of stake or layer 2 hand waving, even if consensus was instant and free you’d still be slower.
When I am handing someone I don’t know a stack of cash, an irreversible, trustless p2p transfer is much better than using a third party payment processor.
I’m not arguing for crypto to replace the banking system, but it does provide utility for me (in addition to the grey market online poker payment processing that has been extremely valuable to me personally).
people aren’t going to adopt crypto like they did the internet the internet is better, crypto is not
also AOL didn’t exactly go up forever, so if bitcoin is the AOL of crypto it’s not gonna ever get there either
anyway the better with inflation argument is now dead, store of value argument is dead, what are the goalposts now
