I don't think the way CNBC talks about bitcoin is educational as to ethos, purpose, or even use cases. You won't get a proper bitcoin education by watching CNBC. You are better off reading Stacker News!

I agree, I wish everyone had a lightning wallet. But in my opinion, instead of complaining that retailers don't accept bitcoin, bitcoiners should start accepting bitcoin in their own areas of business.

I agree about CNBC. CNBC teaches people literally nothing about Bitcoin. And in fact the 'programming' nature of CNBC (TV) really comes out... it's full of boomers who when they start talking about crypto apparently don't know what they are talking about.

I think the conflation of 'crypto' and Bitcoin on tv hasn't helped.

I have tried to discuss Bitcoin with friends and coworkers... and maybe 1 has been open to it. Several of them have come back interested in memecoins or tokens i have never even heard of. A few respectfully roll their eyes at my "thunder wallet" LOL

And the rest I cannot even discuss it with because there is too much stigma. I don't know how to move the needle/break the glass barrier in that environment frankly
