Instead of getting rid of qualified immunity, let's extend it to everyone accused by the government of violating the law. Why should we hold ordinary citizens to a higher standard of compliance with the law than we hold those sworn and paid to uphold it?

The first "Bitcoin" in this tweet means a blockchain and the second "Bitcoin" means a currency. Dollars, the physical bills, also have limitations that dollars, the currency, don't.

If Bitcoin can only process 7 TPS, for arguments sake, let's round up to 100, that doesn't seem fast enough to operate as a medium of exchange considering Visa's TPS is measured in the 1000s. Is that why Bitcoin's messaging has pivoted to being a store of value?
