RE: Our Vision to Build a Deeply Liquid Derivatives Exchange for Hive & HBD

This is an important time to focus on building real utility for tokens. BTC, naturally, is chief among the "real utility" aspect of cryptocurrencies. HIVE is a close second for us.

What is the utility of BTC? This is something hard to see. It isnt a medium of exchange since they are pushing the payments to the second layer.

It has to be something else, which I am not sure has really been defined at this point.

IMO it's the original idea of BTC itself. It's not a medium of exchange, it's a decentralized, sovereign and mathematically-verified storehold of wealth.

BTC is gold 2.0. That's the narrative I've always bought into and believe it's the "correct" one

What is the utility of BTC? This is something hard to see.

Trustless, uncensorable, unseizable transfer of a scarce (fixed supply of 21,000,000) digital asset between more than 100 million distributed individuals accepted by 15,000 businesses, found on 500+ exchanges, with thousands of trading pairs. Not to mention with a huge first mover advantage.

Bitcoin has huge utility.
