In 100 years, Bitcoin block rewards goes to zero, why worry today?

In 100 years it goes to zero, but it will be reduced substantially WELL before that, next halving is coming up in 2 years actually.

So no, I disagree I won’t sit and relax while the experiment is being butchered by rent-seekers and usurpers, Bitcoin has very intricate Game Theory parameters and the hash-rate provided by miners is literally the solution to the previously unsolved Byzantine fault.

So to assume that “people will mine just to make sure the system keeps going” in an incentives-heavy system is not only wishful thinking and gambling, it’s a pure uneducated approach to experimentation and systems scaling.

L2 and LN do not solve the Byzantine fault, if LN worked we won’t even need Bitcoin nor mining. All this proof of stake and L2 scaling and all those new experiments taking place might or might not fail, but everything similar to them previously failed (see banks, liberty dollar, etc) so anecdotal evidence suggests that the only safe bet is Bitcoin, on-chain, exactly as Satoshi created and left it.

Adam Back and Charlie are charlatans, one is selling Liquid and rent-seeking solutions , the other just wants to copy said rent-seeking solutions like he unimaginatively copied Bitcoin.

Stay vigilant and good luck.
