Bitcoin Well emphasizes making Bitcoin accessible and user-friendly. What's the biggest challenge you've faced in convincing skeptics, and how do you see mass adoption playing out in the next 5 years?

SELF CUSTODY!
The education curve being a non custodial platform is extreme. People aren't used to taking custody of their assets - and custodial bitcoin/crypto platforms have made that problem worse imo.
From a higher level, I find skeptics disappear when:
  • NGU
  • tyranny
NGU is high time preference and doesn't stick around. Tyranny (like we saw during the trucker protest and covid etc) have a better "conversion rate". I know a lot of people that said "i didn't realize how powerful bitcoin is until the trucker protest in Canada"
Mass adoption will come as more nations and businesses look to save their value in bitcoin. I just hope people realize the importance of self custody.
