Alex Bosworth: Lack of BTC awareness among smart people is surprising — Many overlook BTC’s potential

Alex Bosworth, head of infrastructure at Lightning Labs, questioned why more intelligent individuals are not recognizing the advantages of BTC.

Bosworth observed that when he cites statistics to knowledgeable people, they often counter with personal anecdotes instead of examining the data, suggesting some are reluctant to consider new perspectives.

But we saved everything 🙂.

Bosworth has previously highlighted the importance of maintaining BTC price floors as a sign of its endurance, stating the asset’s foundation is “ideas and users” in an earlier note (link). He also projected that the Bitcoin Lightning Network could reach $1 trillion in volume within the next decade, driven by the use of shared UTXOs (link). Both remarks reflect his focus on the network’s long-term growth metrics.
