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

Don't worry the four year cycle is coming around again.
Have you not heard about it?

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.

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

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

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

A study of history will help with that!

I wish there were more physical places to spend it.

i am frustrated that many retarded people hold bitcoin private keys and call themselves bitcoiners; one way to properly define a bitcoiner is a bit-counter-insurgent; people of the planet Earth are under attack by non-human entities; cryptographic security of communications, including a bit-based (digital) economy, is a way for the non-infected people to keep fighting back;
i am frustrated, but not complaining; i shall continue the Great Work and educate the retards; labore et constantia

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.

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.

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.

I'm frustrated that it isn't more successful, financially (NGU)
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.

Whenever I need to make an onchain TX it sometimes takes a few hours.
Also when your LN channel partner closes the channel.

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

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.
