I think the doomerism is also related to what we would call 'Torschlusspanik' in German. It’s when you panic because you feel time is running out to make crucial final decisions, even though you’re already almost where you want to be.
While writing this, I realized it’s 'Torschluss' (closing of a gate) and not 'Torschuss' (shooting a goal) so maybe the last part about "already almost where you want to be" is not correct. 👀
Very cool word
Is the idea that we're just about to the point where bitcoin is whatever it's going to be, so any remaining issues need to get ironed out now?
reply
I don't think you can ever iron out all the remaining issues. As long as people are involved, there will continually be some sort of issue arising. You can only take care of them as they arise.

Of course not. There's no consensus on what the ideal set of properties would be.
reply
There are too many ideals out there to eliminate enough of them to make settled properties and this does not even include any advancements or changes to come about.
