I am a bit skeptical of bitcoin communities, of course I support those initiatives spending sats and offering help to setup nodes, self-hosting servers and cheap phones with lineage. But my frustration is that almost nobody is interested in privacy solutions and running a LN node. But what striked me negatively was a barber shop from a venezuelan in my region, I "orange-pilled" him to accept sats for my haircuts, being from venezuela I thought it would be obvious to him how bad fiat is and etc. After 3 haircuts he told me to pay him back in fiat because he cannot spend sats easily.

Economies are famously difficult to design. In all likelihood, the people who are interested in bitcoin won't be sufficient to provide each others' needs locally.
Your barber will probably regret the choice once we hit another bull market and will be more willing to accept bitcoin again then. You laid some ground work, it's ok if it didn't pan out immediately.
yes, I had not intention to design the economy only exchange p2p knowledge. Indeed the barber receive it when it was around 70k powells, he's already having some "profit" but still does not get it. I hope to be wrong and he start watching some youtube videos, listeining to podcasts and etc. I very optimist on p2p ride foss app with sats integrated, it has a lot of incentives to have much more people using sats.
The information sharing aspect is the most valuable. Probably more from a networking standpoint than a technical one.
I agree, and we're still very early imo.
