Question for Bitcoiners:
What would you like to see MORE of in the Bitcoin community?
And what would you like to see LESS of?
All responses will be zapped 👀
In (subjectively) varying amounts
#asknostr
Discussion
More uses of Bitcoin as a form of money / payments; especially p2p as it was designed.
I would like to see this too!
MORE: i feel like we already see a lot of this, and probably moreso than in other communities. But i think encouragement and positivity is what i would like to see more of. One of the most scary factors for newcomers, anywhere really, is getting the sense that you are not welcomed, and that there are more closed doors than open ones.
LESS: scams. I newly saw the actionmovie «the bee keeper» and it made me reflect upon the consept of taking advantage of people in a vulnerable position, especially older people. The world moves fast. Getting more pople on board requires us to be encouraging, informative, welcoming and guiding people away from tricks and scams.
Enjoy your saturday maplemafia⚡️🧡
MORE toxic maxis
LESS open minded tech savvy
Less HODL and NGU culture - That’s been explored already.
More of how Bitcoin fits into one’s life - adoption can’t occur until people see how Bitcoin fits into the life of a person or business.
I would like to see more educational content that speaks to the masses, just like Saylor does. And less elitism about Bitcoin.
More Mental preparation for hard times. Are you really ready to deal with the head games to take your bitcoin.
Less from people who haven’t done any of the research and thinking
i would love to see more promotion of self-custody; i die a little inside everytime someone suggests a proprietary or custodial solution to "get started"
i would like to see less elitism ex: "everything else is shitcoin"
no need to zap me, i always try to answer asknostr questions 💜💸
More memes! Less Stable coins

A contingency plan.

Can you loved ones access your Bitcoin.
Do they know where to go and what to do.
More education, like nitty gritty, detail education. Like your vid on passphrases.
More on inheritance/security details.
Less (zero, ideally) on price action.
On that note, check out nostr:nprofile1qqs8cajagp7n48275ytuhzuxn93g2crc0lqgfgx8dta2gjdlh5fpmpqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09umur9ft ‘s work on this. Great stuff if you haven’t checked already.

We know we are right, we don't have to throw it at people. Let people learn the lessons we learned on their own time. If they don't, they still deserve our love and our respect.
Agreed⚡️
I would like to see more optimism. Yes, the world is very broken but Bitcoin restores a lot of hope, joy, and of course purchasing power. A lot of the community seems grumpy all the time.
I’d like to see if a desire to bicker about every little thing.
Unite around fixing the money and the world gets tremendously better
More regular folk buying bitcoin and less drama from the bitcoin core people the node wars.
More acceptance of other forms of Cryptographic solutions to the financial problems of the world. Bitcoin does attract a lot of fanatics who are very off-putting to normies. It is good to be positive about the project but everything in moderation! Less worshiping of those who want "number go up" - we are still early in adoption and the fact that the mainstream financial system has got its claws in some of the most outspoken members of our community is worrying! More outreach to the people who will really benefit from decentralising the world and less power given to the statists! 😉
I think we need a simple tool to use btc worldwide not like a Visa card but something that even we receive our salaries in different currencies
It would be nice to just buy btc with that and then use that btc to pay services and goods where automatically exchange to the currency where we purchase those goods & services
I think that Eli Rousso with Multi.Vault was very near to achieve this primal tool to just use it contactless as a hard wallet that we use together with your Home keys for exemple
Philippines - everyone has a phone, everybody carries cash… most people need proper money
More of not just bitcoin stuff
Maybe overall financial education stuff
Thanks for your content. Enjoy watching
More bridge building to communities typically seen as enemies. A lot
Of people can’t grok bitcoin until it is explained in terms that resonate with them. We need more bridge builders. Less cheerleader shitty politicians.
More work on circular Bitcoin Economy.
Stop telling people we are in a Bull Cycle.
Last cycle top on November 10, 2021 was $68,742.
Today we are at $113,500.
In 1,362 days we have jumped 65.1%.
Not a bad return but you ain’t retiring your bloodline!
The reality is you need to hang around for ~2.5 cycles (10 years) to see a meaningful change to your stack these days.
I want to see more people using Bitcoin as money withouth KYC
Less about governments and treasury companies and more about families living in terrible areas whom are now saving their hard earned money in BTC and opting out of controlled terror. 🤝
Less cheering for politicians.
More focus on getting cold storage sats for yourself and your loved ones / focus on health and a fulfilled live.
Less talk more action.
Developing apps that make the introduction too it easier and less scary to newcomers.
Less priceobsession today, and more valuetalk longterm as the perfect battery it is🏔
The biggest challenge for newbies (like my wife) is the thought of saving 24 words. As there is no reset password available. She loses passwords like they are toenail clippings !
That said she has never lost her phone, or cards, or earrings.
So i put it to you that the biggest challenge is still wallets… Wallets that do 2 of 3 collaboratively where the phone is a key and so is maybe a smart watch or a tapsigner, and the 3rd can be reset. No 24 words, no $120 / year… lightning capable also
More before and after stories of bitcoiners. Less macro.
More human created music and art, less orange coloured data centre generated pictures.
More on personal strategies including borrowing to buy more, discussing and comparing percentage rate differences of debt products, overcollaterilizing bitcoin-backed loans, etc etc. I know it’s personal and people don’t want to talk about it publicly, but I wanna hear it. I know you did an episode on it just recently, but I want more of that.
