[@foxji]

Great questions

[@rickyreyes30]

Layer 1 is the only secure way to contain value. Layer 2 and layer 3 are experimental. Layer 2 is how to transfer value efficiently with micro transactions. Nothing does this efficiently without sacrificing security and decentralization at the moment. Layer 3 is a hypothetical connected system similar to the internet. A web of connected systems that can interconnect different digital assets to value without relying on any servers, just nodes and information.

[@btdoe3259]

The gold in Fort knox, the money in my bank account and the dollar bills in my pocket all has different level of security. This is acceptable.

“ Nothing does this efficiently without sacrificing security and decentralization at the moment”. The cryptocurrency called “Kaspa” does in fact solve the crypto trilemma. It uses the same fundamentals as the nakamoto consensus, but has upgraded it to a blockdag instead of blockchain, look into it without any bias.

[@sacramentallyill]

​@@btdoe3259What gold in Fort Knox?.... What money in a bank account?....

[@icon2012]

I guess what I'm getting from the LAYER 2 portion of this conversation is that LAYER 1 is the gold in Fort Knox that never moves. LAYER 2 would become the "fiat currency" created to represent the "gold" that is LAYER 1. Can someone tell me if that's a correct way to understand this?

[@arnoldmarcus3634]

“Layer 1” is the innovation and the sole purpose of the invention was to eliminate the need for layers 2 and 3. But the block size limitation has made Bitcoin useless without layer 3, and this will be its undoing. It will stagnate. Everything needs to be layer 1 otherwise it has no purpose and isn’t solving much of anything. It’s still centralized and requires trusted party to exchange. The point of the blockchain was to remove the need for a trusted 3rd party and have direct peer to peer transactions. Layer 2 and 3 do away with that and re-introduce the requirement for a trusted intermediary that the blockchain was intended to remove.

[@daytradingnl4734]

Interesting thought. Probably you will get a lot of competition and this will be hard to regulate. So it will be possible to also get complete decentralized layer 2 applications.

[@themossinator]

what do you mean "still centralised" it was never centralised? Please learn about bitcoin

[@小包子-o8j]

Physical world is an absolutely secure layer 0 that can never go wrong. But people still build civilizations on top of it. Bitcoin is about swapping the layer 1 from usd to something trustless. Trust is always needed on upper levels as it’s important for the progress of the society. This fractal approach resembles the structure of the universe.

[@hckytwn3192]

First, that’s just for “layer 4” (which is pretty shitty/unneeded). Second, even on layer 4, it’s still superior to current bank currency because you can verify their underlaying assets that backs their currency-just look on the blockchain. You can’t confirm what our current institutions own today, even Fort Knox lol. It’s rehypothecation to hell, fiat turtles all the way down. 🐢🐢🐢

[@spencerheath5085]

[@away69]

I think it's not the fact that you have the benefit of owning a derivative of Bitcoin which is a store of value and hedge against inflation without the added risk of potentially losing your keys or having to share them with someone before your death (just a couple of use cases). Clearing exchanges deal with those situations much easier

[@billbadson7598]

@@away69 _"without the added risk of potentially losing your keys or having to share them with someone before your death"_ But if the solution to the problem of potentially losing one's keys is to trust a centralized arbiter to hold all the keys while you get to hold IOUs, that sounds like it's not a solution. Like I said, I must not understand it.

[@offchan]

@@billbadson7598 Bitcoin IOU is better than fiat IOU in the sense that at least you know the underlying asset is a hard money that is not going to be diluted. It's similar to using gold to back fiat in the old times anyway. It's just better than gold in the sense that it's much easier to claim bitcoin than to claim gold. To claim gold you need to physically move it which is more friction than bitcoin that can be claimed digitally.

Read the whitepaper section 6 on incentives, the system runs on transaction fees after the reward subsidy drops, and that is how it runs inflation-free. With small blocks you need inflation, its not a store of value and it has no integrity, BTC is backed by lies. Do you even stop to think about how the reward is halvening every 4 years, and eventually price will do nothing to affect hash rate security? This is elementary school stuff.
