I'm frustrated that so few people seem interested in self-custody.

I'm frustrated that it isn't more successful, financially (NGU) and/or through more widespread adoption (FGU, freedom go up).

reply

I think mine is related to yours: it's that despite all the incursions on freedom and the ways that governments are overtly moving to increase their control over our lives, most people don't think of bitcoin as the solution.

reply

I don't think there's any silver bullet solution to fixing all the various problems of corruption and overreach; Bitcoin is a critical tool for empowering individuals and enabling alternative systems, although without steps that more directly address the broken system, it simply gets more and more broken while Bitcoin only protects the net worth of people who have adopted it.

reply

Governments are fundamental to creating and maintaining the wealth of nations.

Bitcoin creates healthy competition to the government imposed monopoly over MoE but that does not mean you can have a wealthy and prosperous economy without government.

reply

It would be better adopted if bitcoiners weren’t such assholes. If the 1990s pc people were all like this we wouldn’t be using PCs today either.

People get it at the price they deserve.

There has never been any other financial asset to deliver such incredible value appreciation as Bitcoin has already.

My frustration is not having more bitcoin! 🤠

Don't worry the four year cycle is coming around again.

Have you not heard about it?

reply

I wish there were more physical places to spend it.

reply

That's my second biggest frustration!

reply

yar, same for me. hopefully the square terminal thing changes that.

reply

Yes !

LNC!!

People that rather hodl then use it as everyday money.

Lack of enthusiasm for covenants.

reply

Mostly that despite all the resources available most people think it's a high beta tech stock.

reply

Maybe it makes sense if you think tech sector performance is correlated to the degree of money supply inflation, which is not a crazy hypothesis.

reply

So you are saying the masses may be on to something without knowing they are on to something.

reply

Perhaps. In general, economists find that behavior is pretty rational even if people can't articulate proper reasoning about it...

reply

Isn't that a frustration with people, rather than with Bitcoin?

A study of history will help with that!

the people

reply

1- I don't have many
2- there should be shops or online shops that accept Bitcoin (in France)
3- that it's really volatile

reply

Mí mayor frustración es que en este país el gobierno 🇨🇺 lo consideren de personas estafadoras, y ellos crean monedas virtuales sin custodia para comprar productos básicos, entonces quién es quién 🤔. Sin embargo yo no he estafado a nadie aunque a mí sí pero es harina de otro costal y falta de experiencia.

reply

Price not going up.
But also price not going down.
Stagnation is the worst. Nobody needs a fiat stablecoin.

reply

Whenever I need to make an onchain TX it sometimes takes a few hours.

Also when your LN channel partner closes the channel.

reply

Narrative capture. Keys outsourced, BTC treated like a high‑beta tech stock, payments deferred to custodians, and most of the UI leaks signal. The problem isn’t Bitcoin tho; it’s how we measure things and the incentives we create

reply

That more people don't treat it like money

reply

It suits the bankers and the governments they own to have people see it and use it as a speculative commodity, preferably held in custody by the bankers associates.
So it is.
They have captured and controlled the narrative and thus largely undermined the intention of the protocol to enable a p2p Payments Protocol.
Because the bankers hegemony is built upon their MoE hegemony.
They own your government...over a barrel of debt.
The Jewish bankers are still in control.

It is frustrating that software updates could damage that ease of node decentralization.

Incompetent and/or compromised shitcoin core

one day thou will realize that is not about fighting a war, it's a more about playing a game.

reply

i can see how a simulation runs inside each man's mind, before committing to an action; from that perspective, it is a game; the brain is the most powerful quantum computer in the universe; it operates based on quanta of available information;

there are two major forces at play in the world at all times:

  • one is an involutionary (as in curling in, restricting, destructive, entropic) force, one that is wielded by the dark occult
  • the other is an evolutionary (unfolding, expanding, creative, syntropic) force, one that is wielded by the light occult

a man can choose whether to participate on team entropy or team syntropy - he runs a simulation in his mind and chooses an action, based on the knowledge gathered; this is how a choice is made between slavery and freedom, every day;

note: occult means hidden;

Put down the pipe ok?
