Now that Lightning Network is here it's so easy to finally demonstrate the intrinsic value of BTC. Something that was really difficult before.

However, before mass adoption, the two major areas that still need to be addressed are frictionless onboarding and climate FUD.

I fear that it's going to get more difficult to exchange FIAT for Sats as the banks start to get scared and start to withdraw the on-ramps. Even if they remain in place, they will start dialling down the amount of BTC you can buy with daily limits.

The climate FUD is an even bigger problem. I know of many intelligent people who just refuse point blank to accept that Bitcoin not going to boil the oceans. It's going to be a difficult nut to crack.

We need to provide them some info about why its necesary.

For example, that Bitcoin is probably the single first network that is not being controlled by the government or agency.

That if they want a currency that doesn't change in prices by external manipulation, like raw gold, how that would be possible.

That the energy is partially neccesary for transactions to be included, but mostly neccesary for preventing that your Bitcoin stays your Bitcoin. The same as calling up an army to protect your gold in your home 24/7. But for everyone.

How governments are always drawn to exploiting their people, which is the reason why they print money. That the us dollar is dependend on the amount of debt etc.

Then we would have to leave fiat aside and originate value for sats on itself.
