Honestly, making the products solve a problem for people - without them knowing the underlying technology is bitcoin - is the way IMO.

Block has done this masterfully with the Square terminals. Go to a coffee shop and tell them you can pay without 3% card service fees. Their mind is blown.

Same thing here in the Heatpunk space. Doesn't lower everyone's heating bills, but for folks like you and that exact scenario in Seattle, it's a no brainer. A device that offsets their heating bills. Simple as that.

I used to live in Seattle. We had these two electric heaters that we'd use to heat the whole house and it was loud! I wasn't in to bitcoin at the time, but I think back on it now and realize that should have been miners.

It's frustrating to me that normies often associate bitcoin with crypto and scams and so it will likely be a bit of an uphill climb to convince average consumers to install bitcoin heaters. Besides culture, what do you think most stands in the way of uptake?
