@sun being old is fine, gold is old, it's what is ABLE to be done that is what interests me.

Today there is LightningNetwork which solves a bunch of problems around medium of exchange, and some usability issues etc, what is newly being built to enable anonymous payments over lightning is super-interesting (#fedimint), it also solves problems related to security for 85% of people who are not technically minded.

So yeh, u want old tho, old=asset.

@hj ^^^

@sun @hj if those things are better then they will be absorbed into the bitcoin codebase, surely, right? bitcoin does improve over time, but yeah they can't destory ppls past wealth that would be bad.

@sun @hj i would be surprised if someone hasn't looked at a better performing technology and done both a cost/benefit analysis toward including it in the codebase and maybe also completed mathematical proofs of its security, but yeah i think the devs are VERY resistant of introducing coins that are not compatible with older software, i think they have sort of confidence rounds where they say if eg. 90% of transactions have signalled readiness to upgrade then it it'll updgrade. Or something like that.
