value to me means valor, strength, valuable lessons, knowledge. the money aspect of bitcoin is like a necessary evil, which is better than fiat money, but still not an ideal use case for living a good life.

i want the idea of money to go away forever. i cannot imagine enlightened beings with superior intelligence to ever need money. have the pyramids and cathedrals been built for money, or even with money? nah, there were probably other incentives at play.

at this time, in the age of A.I. bots, i would love for bitcoin to be more like a spam filter, similar to how stacker.news is trying to do it. then, a store of rare knowledge, which can be acquired by staying humble and stacking enough sats to get thru the paywall.

oh yea, a payment is not money. payment is performance according to an agreement.
