I believe you are wrong. Bitcoin is a decentralized network which is difficult to stop, but not impossible. Semi centralized networks like Kazaa and Napster are great examples. If you want another example of a completely decentralized network then applications that use gnutella are great examples, like bearshare.

In all cases, the legal arm of a few entities straight up discouraged the use of all these networks forever through extreme legal action and mass marketing. Remember the stories of people getting crazy fines for downloading a few songs? They didn't do that to punish that person. They did that to intimidate everyone else and it worked. As recent as 2010, people has been attempting to develop clients for gnutella. None successful at rebooting the network. To assume bitcoin is somehow immune to this is lunacy.

It is evidence to me that Brave does not have the end user in mind and there is deeper malicious intent. If anyone isn't current on bitcoin, then the jist of it is Brave's entire BAT use case can be built on bitcoin, using lightning or things such as the liquid network side chain. They are aware of this.

Sick. I think Dot has a real chance if Mozilla isn't willing to step up to the plate.

If there is not an extreme pivot in Firefox's adoption in the next 5 years, I believe it will be a dead browser. One thing I have noticed is that developers have slowly been forgetting or not motivated to work on ensuring Firefox users have same level features. For example, there are browser extensions for chrome that do not exist on Firefox.

These can range from popular extensions to smaller, more specific productivity extensions. As a specific example, there is a Zendesk extension that can help load all links you click load in a single instance rather than having multiple tabs. It uses Zendesk's built in tabbing system for tickets and is very helpful for workflow.

The problem is this is only a chrome extension, and no such thing exists for Firefox. This is one example but there are so many more, and more of those situations are happening over time.

That is a worrying trend. It means that the chrome browser has such a massive market share, that in a lot of cases worrying about Firefox compatibility isn't even a productive concern anymore. This will eventually end in life support compatibility such as developers putting up splash pages or in-page notifications for users to switch to a more compatible browser. I have already seen extremely rare instances of this, but not enough where I would consider it a concern yet, just an asshole move.
