Everytime Bitcoin-related noise happens, I always ask myself “is it because the protocol is unsound” and the answer is rarely yes. The biggest problem with Bitcoin, one man’s opinion, is that the value of money is really tied to the governments and economies that back it, and so you’ve got to have societal revolution to endorse Bitcoin over the status quo(s).
imo, we should improve the protocol to better penalize bad actors. I'm thinking, through the governance structure of the protocol or the incentive structure that truly decentralized and self-govern. I'm probably dreaming...
