Bitcoin will survive on waning hopium through its coming ma$$ive cycle peak. Hodling for that is conservatively ok. After that around 2025, it will face extreme competition from newer L1's that have privacy, thousands of tps, and consume storage no more than per-acct not per-tx, and from cross-L1 DEX's enabling freemarket price discovery across all relevant pairs, and darknet CEX for the rest. BTC Lightning is pretty much a joke... no p2p offline, and non-recurring endpoints are pointless (fees, preload funds into lockup, and "you have to keep a tab")... lol. BTC will either not change and lose marketshare, or will change thus committing self-nullifying hypocrisy over all its former maxi statements about never changing. Check the charts in 2026 to see who's nearer to flippening. Smart contracts and all other prog features don't belong in an efficient private p2p global simple money for the world, do that first. Never underestimate the power of the coming privacy coin revolution.
