Bringing back #Bitcoin #SkepticismSundays 😎

One of the things that showed me the intellectual honesty of the Monero community and helped to force the community to stay grounded in reality and always laser focused on their core ethos was their weekly "Skepticism Sunday" Reddit threads. These threads allowed the community to come together, ask hard and skeptical questions about the design of Monero, the privacy provided, the economic approach, and much more.

In my time in Bitcoin I've never seen anything similar, but the nuanced and high-signal crowd on Nostr seems like a perfect fit to fire things up and see how it goes.

The goal of this thread (which I'll post weekly on Sunday's) is for discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Bitcoin. Things like what makes it difficult for you to use Bitcoin, what pain-points you have, etc.

NOT the positive aspects of it.

Discussing things with a critical thinking approach and level-headed discussion helps us learn where Bitcoin and its community can improve and go from there.

P.S. -- I try to take a break from social media on Sundays so I will follow up and reply whwre I can tomorrow!

One question is, are you trying to make it do too much?

There seem to be a great many who want it uncensorable, private, function in a collapse while still somehow engaging in international & interstate trade & also function while they are cut off from the mainstream economy...

Probably asking too much from any one thing...

For instance, it requires some infrastructure somewhere & if you are in a full on collapse, you probably won't be getting much from elsewhere, even if you can pay for it, who says it is getting to you?

I don't buy that any one thing can be the "magic bullet" for everything.
