In terms of what it's "optimized for", definitely the former. If it was optimizing for everyday use by normies, why not just use fiat. The whole point is to get to the point of everyday use while not compromising on security, privacy, and decentralization
I have often expressed the same opinion (get to everyday use without compromising security, privacy, decentralization). But I'm worried it's a bit of a naive outlook. Why not just stay 100% focused on maximum censorship resistance?
It seems like ease of use always comes at the cost of reduced censorship resistance. Is it possible to make a money that provides unstoppable coffee purchases?
I often wonder how much of the tension around development in bitcoin comes down to a lack of clarity/consensus between these two goals.
