People have to take responsibility. Blaming the lack of buyers for the lack of Bitcoin spending is, frankly, stupid.

The problem here is not the lack of buyers it's the lack of sellers. Quality sellers. Gresham law is real and People have no incentives beyond idealism to spend their bitcoins for a mug they can buy at Walmart.

Bitcoin will first make it's way in the market of excellence. Bitcoin is exceptional and will first want to aquire the exceptional. If you want to grow the circular economy you must take your responsibility and learn to offer an exceptional product.

It's going to be hard tho I'm telling. This myth where you can just start selling stuff for bitcoin and people will line up to encourage you is... yeah a myth. Trust me after 2 years I know. You are gonna have to be excellent for real. There's no shortcut.

But that's Bitcoin and I believe the rewards will be just as great as the challenge was in a decade or two.

Take on a Bitcoin craft, lower your time preference, learn to be excellent and stop blaming the buyers. Just get good until you create the buyers.

I want to understand where the seemingly arbitrary time frames come from.

"It's been 15 years. We should have completely fixed everything by now..."

Who says 15 years is long enough? I just don't get why right now is the time that certain things should be reality. The current rails predate many humans on the planet. Fiat predates all of us. Gold predates some civilizations as a money.

YouTube predates Bitcoin. Lol I remember YT not existing and I'm only 31. Most people didn't carry cell phones when I was a child. But yes, we should have already completely fixed money and broken governments with Bitcoin. In 15 years. What we have right now is astonishing for such a short period.

Yeah 15 years is nothing. What has already been accomplished is amazing.

People tend to be limited by their own frame of reference. Bitcoin has been around for about half my life, which seems like a long time to me (kind of, time is flying). But 15 years to all of history or even a century is a lot smaller.

Couldn’t agree more

People born at the same time as Bitcoin are just starting to drive cars. I think we're fine.

It’s more of think we should be farther along than we are. With the internet, phones and the wealth of information about inflation you would think people would make the ration choice and choose a better money. I’m more astonished than anything…

Matt 9mo ago

I just don't see how you can look at where we started and where we are and not be amazed how much progress has been made in 15 years. It's also unfair because a lot of the 15 years was spent actually building the technology to make the network usable. I'm absolutely shocked at how much better things are now vs when I bought into the Bitcoin philosophy four years ago.

All of this without a centralized authority guiding development is truly amazing. We are farther ahead than I expected. By years.

I guess I’m just impatient lol… so tired of this fiat fucked up world. Fake money is ruining everything and getting people killed.

Matt 9mo ago

We agree on that. But I think it's important to consider how many people would suffer and die without a smooth, consistent rate of adoption. Just nuking the current system would probably lead to more harm than good. People need time to adapt. And I think they are.

Matt 9mo ago

In my 20s, I would have agreed with going in guns blazing and nuking anything that even looks like it's fiat lol. In my 30s, I'm a little more cautious and thoughtful. I think Bitcoin is too in many ways. It's still maturing with us.
