Why has it taken me more than 5 years of full time study to understand something that simple? đ
Seriously tho, your car is simple to drive, yet a mechanic spends years learning how to maintain it and an engineer spends even longer learning how to build it.
But yes, to use, Bitcoin is as simple as AliPay or tapping a credit card. There is some validity to the argument to rename Sats to Bitcoin as I have noticed some people believe that at over $100K a coin it is unaffordable and they have missed the boat.
But ultimately, in the west at least, it doesn't solve a problem for most people, despite the devaluation of most fiat currencies, most people can still afford life and they don't need to switch to a less adopted, more volatile form of money.
I went to my first Bitcoin conference in Bedford a couple of years ago, Peter McCormack had orange pilled the food trucks, so we all paid for lunch with Sats, the next day the price tanked. I felt sorry for the vendors who now have to pay bills like wages and supplies in pounds. They weren't ready to adopt it for their business, you have to understand Bitcoin to be able to accept it at the tills.
Bitcoin is a learning curve, it does have nuance, it is different to anything else in the fiat world and it takes time to understand.
I remember when I first started building the Internet in the 1990's, I had established email links to our offices around the world. Coworkers would bring me handwritten faxes to be sent by email, they didn't understand.
Today, the Internet is a utility we all take for granted, Bitcoin will be that for money, but not yet, we are still early. But it's good to have discussions on how to accelerate adoption, especially under the current economic climate.
