phwooar big questions. let me try.
Bitcoiners tend to overestimate the general public's intelligence level. I mean I guess this is not exclusive to bitcoiners, it also applies to anyone trying to get a new public good adopted.
I mean, remember how retarded people were/are during covid? Wearing a mask on a beach, alone. Or wearing a mask in a car on a commute to work.
so that's what we're dealing with.
We need to dumb down certain things and get a bit more normie friendly. It sounds arrogant to say it like this but bitcoin is full of geniuses (Geniii?) and many are "on the spectrum". You guys forgot how damn smart you are 🤣
- "The public sees Bitcoin as a scam because they’re uninformed." This has some truth but much of the skepticism stems from legitimate concerns about volatility, usability, or associations with speculation. The public doens't know enough but have been put off by wht they do know, which is the perception of bitcoin, not the actual thing itself.
Public
- Most don’t understand Bitcoin is THE tool for financial empowerment / hedge against failing systems because mainstream narratives focus on its volatility or use in illicit activities. The fuckers.
- Bitcoin is too complicated. Hmm. It can be if you want it to be.
- That a satoshi is the tiniest amount of a bitcoin. fuck that. BIP 176 ftw :D
