It sounds like you've reconciled this, I'm curious how?

The use-case may be valid but the implementation doesn't necessarily facilitate it.

I'm stating in the first quote that there is an idea of artists selling their work, but that isn't what is driving the accelerated adoption.

In the second quote I point out some of the technical deficiencies, it is supposed to contrast the first. It doesn't reconcile.

The comment chain is on the topic of why these technical deficiencies are news to so many people, my opinion is that we skipped the scrutiny that BTC experienced and we experienced a gold rush.
