The best argument against Bitcoin is that most people don’t want freedom. They want convenience painted as freedom.

They’ll trade sovereignty for ease. They’ll choose apps over holding their keys, yield over custody, and comfort over responsibility. Bitcoin offers none of that upfront. It demands understanding, conviction, and delayed gratification. Most people couldn't care less about any of that as long as they can have a BBQ at the weekend and watch the game.

I'm not saying this is a flaw in Bitcoin. I'm saying it’s a flaw in human nature, and it’s still the strongest argument against its mass adoption, in my opinion.

What’s the best you’ve heard? #asknostr #bitcoin

Sounds right to me 💫

It's exactly the same reason people choose windows and macos over Linux.

And the same risks and rewards apply. #Apple and #Microsoft would have to disable users computers at #trump's order.

But there's no executive order he can sign to turn off my #manjaro box

I came here to say exactly this, and yet Free Software has definitely won. The internet runs on GNU/Linux / BSD. Android phones are also Linux.

So people will use Bitcoin, because everything well use Bitcoin. Most people won't know the different between sendings sats and using Venmo, though.

We need to do the podcast soon Paula :)

Would love that!

That's why this generation is not the one who will fully experience hyperbitcoinization.

We must raise the generation that will.
