I was on the phone yesterday with my friend over at nostr:npub1jx702fwvkdtqkhd9p8n6ctgnycpl6whsx07a0h9s9h2hlgx6q60svk2c49 we were talking #Bitcoin, life, business, all the good stuff I really enjoy diving into.

He said something that stuck with me: how simple Bitcoin really is. And yet, so many people still struggle to grasp it.

The problem, he pointed out, is that a lot of people are stuck in complicated business strategies or challenging lives where everything feels harder than it needs to be.

So when they encounter something simple - like Bitcoin - they dismiss it. They’ll say it’s a scam, or that it’s “too easy,” because it doesn’t fit the difficult framework they’re used to.

And I think he’s right. That might be one of the biggest hurdles slowing adoption. Not that Bitcoin is hard, but that it’s too simple for people conditioned to complexity.

It’s interesting to think about - especially in industries like real estate or finance, where people are so tied to “the way things are done.”

How do we help people see Bitcoin’s simplicity for what it is? Do we even try? Or do we just let people come to it naturally, when their own needs finally push them toward it?

Bitcoin is simultaneously complex and simple. This is what most people actually struggle with, holding two conflicting ideas at the same time. To understand its simplicity one must also understand its complexity. Because without that framework, it is too good to be true.

To see Bitcoins simplicity you have to internalize that it’s a truly decentralized, military grade, self regulating network that doesn’t use time as we know it. Once you can see that it seems very simple. But there’s no way to explain that to someone with no frame of reference without sounding like a absolute crazy person 😅

Profound ideas just take a long time to permeate into society.

Slow and steady always wins the race 🤞🏼

Simple in idea

Complicated in execution

Perhaps as time goes on the execution part may become easier?

It’s possible but I don’t think the majority of users are willing to learn how the code works to be able to fully understand how the system works.
