gaslit, October 7th

Gas fees make the game difficult. I want tokens of beauty but costs for transactions are eating away at the wallets. In the third quarter, temperatures cool normally, yet the space seemingly melts to reveal an oncoming heat wave.

Sir John Hargrave, of Media Shower and Bitcoin Market Journal writes three steps to his mission in Blockchain for Everyone. I only require two. Usability can remain the dev’s workload. As a pundit and early adopter, I must capture a portrait of blockchain that is easy to understand and easy to invest.

Enter the portraitist’s perspective. I doubted the fidelity of tokenized art, for example, the way many doubt Bitcoin’s value. I understood but could not communicate why- I’m an intuitive individual. Firstly, many agree Bitcoin holds value, therefore, it does. Don’t be alarmed, the paper money uses the same alibi.

Whether you do, the fact remains, enough people carry a conviction so strong the coin sits above fifty thousand dollars at the time of writing. The crossroads for many lies in trust. I trust, we trust, you might one day trust Bitcoin has value, the same way the world trusts the United States dollar. I am of the mind USD has history, but BTC has technology.

^{Fun fact: Most money is created from thin air. Only 3% of the money supply exists a fiat paper, the remaining 97% enters the equation from bank loans.}

I remember when I did not ponder money so much. I always thought about change, though.
