Philippines got the 3rd spot on the highest crypto adoption but mainly due to altcoins and games like axie infinity. I just became a non-altcoiner this year, a maxi some may say. But it's quite challenging to navigate talking to people, even those who are already in the crypto space.
Even the Bitcoin people known BitcoinIsland in Boracay is mostly an altcoin area and not really bitcoin main. The foreign national who is popularing the term, who owns Pouch.ph, is pushing all crypto and not bitcoin exclusive.
I'm still supporting his vision in part since he knows the difference of Bitcoin and he's doing that business model since that's the better way to gain adoption here.
Any tips on this? Oh and I just started using lightning and loving it, would like to get some zaps. Thanks in advance for the tips and zaps!
Pouch is doing shitcoinery? I didn't know about this.
In any case, its mostly just expressing your experience of how you came to understand why shitcoins are bad for people and then extracting that out to be more generalizable.
In the US we have a few Bitcoin only meetings where we don't allow shitcoin discussion. We use phrases like "Well this is a Bitcoin meetup", "Oh I'm not interested in anything like that" and you know polite terms to decline some shitcoin someone is trying to shill. It also helps to only promote wallets and exchanges that support Bitcoin. (That way you know the exchange doesn't push a scam onto newbies)
Other than that well, just live life. You only have power to influence people around you afterall, you can't (and shouldn't desire to) control them so. Ultimately, a lot of people have to learn by being scammed and losing their money.
Do you have a nostr? If you're an android user I like nostros personally: https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros/releases
A .apk file is a lot like a .exe file on windows. Its an installer, you just download and install it, but if you want to go through the play store there's also Amethyst and for iPhone there's Damus.

  1. altcoiners will make some money or lose money.
  2. some altcoiners will move to bitcoin and some will leave crypto completely.
  3. out of your control.

Why is there no lightning symbol on the right side of my post? Am I missing something on my settings? Or option when I posted this?
