Bitcoin is a force of nature. Not a product launch. It does not care if it makes a bad first impression. Many people threw the baby out with the bath water lumping Bitcoin with shitcoin rug pulls, terrible UI experiences with Lightning rollouts, and in El Salvador specifically, the Chivo wallet got hacked. So yeah, the initial impression was poorly presented. Meanwhile...Tick tock, next block™. They will come back around, eventually.
Yea, I completely agree.
Still... I personally get excited by what it can do for people as a medium-of-exchange. And I don't like what I'm seeing in this regard, recently.
I know we have to resist the urge to move fast and break things. Bitcoin shouldn't be treated like a startup tech company. But that doesn't mean I don't still get that urge. I'm a developer, so it's in my nature.
