Yea agreed. I’m definitely a bitcoin maximalist moreso now. I mean if I were to receive a remittance I rather receive bitcoin than lumens.
Interesting with bitcoin though, when I first heard of it, I remember hearing they use that computational power to help (eg. Hospitals) run various computational heavy simulations in exchange for btc. Kind of like how Seti@home works. Always wondered where I heard that from. Unfortunately it’s just wasting energy rehashing sha256 a billion times :$
