Think about how media consumption evolved. Warner Bros dominated theatrical releases, then Netflix flipped the script with streaming. Cable news giants like CNN had information monopolies until prediction markets like Polymarket let crowds aggregate real-time sentiment. And gold? Held its throne as the ultimate store of value for millennia—until Bitcoin showed up with a fixed supply and no borders.
Here's the pattern: whenever a superior method exists and enough people start believing in it organically, adoption becomes unstoppable. Not through force or regulation, but through collective recognition that the new way just works better. It's less about disruption and more about gravity—innovations that solve real problems naturally pull consensus toward them. Once that momentum builds, the shift isn't a possibility anymore. It's a certainty.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the Bitcoin theory has already been proven dead. The real issue is that most people still trust gold more than code.

Something's not right. Is Bitcoin really superior to gold? Or are we just being brainwashed?

Sounds nice, but this logic gets twisted in the crypto space... If truly useful things always win, then why are there still so many shitcoins surviving?

ngl this logic is a bit too idealistic... Netflix won but is still pressured by Disney, and BTC hasn't completely replaced gold either.

NGL, this "gravity theory" sounds pretty good, but Netflix hasn't completely killed movie theaters either. It still depends on the scenario, doesn't it?

The part where BTC knocks gold off its throne was truly epic, but why does it feel like we're still arguing with people over gas fees and transaction speed?

Well said, this is the ultimate form of network effects. Let's wait and see how the traditional financial system responds.

Simply put, it's just a trick played by network effects. It should have been done this way a long time ago.
