I read the whole article from dergigi I love it. Thank you for posting it. My post was to point out the frustrating eternal september out there, the lack of education of terms... and the way people 'manipulate' those terms for their own benefit. The article mentioned "un-hosted wallets" as a really deceptive term. It's not a wallet at all actually that's 'hosted' at an exchange... it's just an account on an exchange that's an IOU.

The 'ordinals', the innovation of 'ordinals' and 'rare sats' and 'nfts', the use of bitcoin as 'not-money', as well as the advocacy for all these 'use cases' that are not money and are overwhelmingly inferior, or scams, or both. It just gets so old.

And I also am honestly a little impatient when I read certain comments about 'buying bitcoin for the money'... Bitcoin is the money that's the whole point. So I guess people mean buying it to ride the exchange rate up short term and then sell it for fiat?

If they don't believe in it any more than that, and haven't studied it to appreciate 'Bitcoin the money' (TM) then they probably shouldn't be buying it to begin with imo.

The whole thing looks really scammy to the public and there is a dire need for better education. It's even made more confusing when a significant number of ****coiners say that 'lightning doesn't work' or 'lightning is trash'...

If it doesn't work, then how does Stacker News work? How the **** am I receiving and sending Sats over and over? It's just a desperate lack of education, transparency, and honesty from the crypto space as well as from some regulators and politicians. Some of it is quite devious, and the lack of standardized information makes real value4value adoption more painful than I wish it were.
