companies like coinbase make it harder for regular working class americans to trust bitcoin.

Curious to hear you elaborate 💜
Regular people buy into big brands and their marketing pretty easily in general.
But I do agree, it goes against the fundamentals that Bitcoin stands for
americans are forced to buy into big brands because it’s what’s easier accessible. if you’re working all day and need to get groceries, you’re not going to the farmers market, you go to what’s easy.
bitcoin shouldn’t be marketed and it’s okay if working class americans don’t trust it yet. they don’t have the privilege and time to sit around all day listening to podcasts or read books about bitcoin. they’re busy creating proof of work.
it’s an interesting position indeed.
do you fight bad marketing with good marketing or do you let the silence, as in lack of marketing, speak for itself 🤔
americans aren’t dumb. they always see beyond the marketing even if it seems like we fall for it.
we are forced and born into it.
i truly hope so, doesn’t stand for everybody unfortunately.
but i do hope that the heightened levels of skepticism help the americans atleast take the marketing more with a grain of salt.
it’s is kind of complicated here in the states, it’s hard to understand why working class americans don’t trust bitcoin when you’re not here. especially in the midwest where the american dream is most prominently pioneered as the one thing to work for.
where as if i was not from the us, i wouldn’t understand and see the generalized view of americans too.
Correct. It's because most are Bitcoin and Crypto as one in the same. It's an educational issue, but it's hard to educate when you have such large and complicit entities.
And also it’s a privilege to have the time to learn about bitcoin. if you’re working all day and have a family to take care of, you don’t have the time to care about it.
Cause it’s not their goal.
How about companies like black rock? Do they promote more or less trust?
i used to give them a break bc they did allot of good onboarding masses of normies, but at this point i don't trust them, especially that lex luthor-lookin-mf'er, and it's just as easy to get set up on strike
they threatened SMH by sec to delist everything except btc 🐦
Disagree. They make it easier. No-coiners are not going to use a OTC-platform to buy their first BTC.
