Thank you, Allison! Glad you liked it. My aim is to simplify and contextualize Bitcoin via visualizations and analogies - best way to crystallize the beauty of this asset, in my opinion

Thanks, John! It's so easy to lose sight of the perspective of what Bitcoin is: a global value settlement layer. This analogy makes that more tangible

Thanks David! Clearing up concerns about how Bitcoin scales is one of the best ways to reduce the apprehension about Bitcoin's viability

I appreciate the reply. Decentralization and security are primary and require that scaling happens on layer two.

Have you researched fedimints? It's akin to banking with bitcoin, but hopefully with full reserves.

It looks at our best shot at scaling transactions at the moment.(This opinion is based solely on WOS breaking durring some zapathons on nostr by the way. It's anecdotal at best)

Also, are you a nostrich yet?
