Everywhere, in every newspaper and online comments section, people complain about inflation. It's common everyone knows what it is.

Shouldn't the solution be obvious? That doesn't mean Bitcoin isn't volatile (it is) but the inflation rate is steady... the supply capped, the network as a whole transparent...

As a solution to inflation it should be obvious to anyone with the curiosity. Here in the United States people are becoming more interested in Bitcoin - obviously the US ETFs have helped and the financiers are taking it more seriously.

However, the 'man on the street' knows practically nothing about it. And self-custody? Running a node? Forget it.

We should have blocks just teeming with transactions like 6 days of the week if not all the time with relatively high fee rates, to include closing and opening lightning channels 24/7 a vibrant fee market.

But fees right now... Like 2 sats/vb.

It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't know if the information is better/worse about Bitcoin in the general public in NZ vs the US... but the information here is low and some of the political involvement hasn't gotten people interest the right way.

Yup
