Does this make Bitcoin better money?
summary
Central claim: Bitcoin must stay money first and nothing else, so every feature or proposal answers the question Does this make Bitcoin better money? Argues miners are paid in 21 million sats for block space, proof-of-work secures users, issuance prevents seigniorage, and fees never fully compensate node-running cost. Warns that filling blocks with non-monetary use cases or increasing base-layer transactions degrades sat pricing and fungibility; small examples: UTXOs, Taproot/Lightning, Miniscript/CTV, subscriptions and fewer on‑chain txs.
