Wow, you're a complete asshat aren't you.

You are rude, combative, and argumentative toward anyone who disagrees with your ~~predictions~~ crystal-ball certainty of the future. And you started that before anyone even replied to you. Indeed, I only bothered replying to you after some other people seemed intimidated and dismayed by your arrogant hogwash. I did that for them, and for other readers, not for you.

Want an asshat? Reread your own posts, and look in the mirror.

I never said I relish the idea of people being priced out.

I never said that you said so. You have consistently acted like you relish the idea: You posts drip contempt of anybody who doesnt join the big boys so they can afford $1000+ transaction costslogically including people who are now children, or not yet born; how, praytell, are they supposed to rush to fill [their] bags now while BTC is still dirt cheap now, as you put it, such that they can use Bitcoin to avoid financial enslavement? Or what about people who actually, sincerely cannot afford right now to acquire (whatever you believe to be) big boy amounts of Bitcoin? They (admittedly, we) deserve to be forever locked out of Be Your Own Bank financial freedom?

I have repeatedly quoted you at length. I see no reason to add yet another collection of quotes, now redundant. Those who question my analysis and interpretation of your posts may go reread upthread.

And dont you dare say that anybody who really wants to, can. Not so many years ago, I literally took money intended for food and used it instead to make my very first BTC buy. If I do say so myself, that bespeaks commitment and skin in the game. I have more now, but I am obviously not filling any bags. Whereas I am only in this position, at this point in my life, due to being principled and suffering some bad events caused by big-bank chicanery! On behalf of everybody who is neither rich, nor a bank-loving natural born slave: Fuck you for consistently, undeniably acting like everybody who doesnt grab a big BTC stash at todays mouth-wateringly low prices is just a chump to be herded into Paypal 2.0, Blockchain Edition.

If you don't like it, become one of the big boys by filling your bags now while BTC is still dirt cheap.

It's just a reality, not what I think should happen or even what I prefer.

A standard propaganda ploy: Repeatedly assert something without explaining just why it is so inevitable, peremptorily make conclusory statements and condescend toward anybody who even questions what you say, and then, when you are called out for it, switch to what you just said.

Whereas you have not even begun to explain why you think that your future vision is inevitable, instead of a future in which on-chain scaling improvements combined with trustless, permissionless off-chain protocols such as Lightning make management of ones own private keys still available to anybody who wants it.

I don't know why anyone would have fear of bitcoin evolving to a point where people were willing and able to pay those high fees.

Logically, this means one or the other of two things:

Bitcoin will make everybody rich! Everybody! Forever! Lets all go to the moon!
Only a very limited subset of people now living (or their heirs) deserve the benefits of Bitcoin, in terms of permissionless control of ones own money. Fuck everybody else.

Either-or.
