Education is a thing that most people gleefully quit a long time ago.
The percentage of the population who are willing to undertake any kind of education on a voluntary basis is less than 5%.
To win, Bitcoin has no choice but to build services and compete in the market. It’s 14 years in, the early adopters are already here.
What is education besides acquisition of information and development of an informed position/opinion/application.
People are being ‘educated’ by media. This hasn’t stopped. I’d argue it’s increased - people consume content all day long. Yes, fully agree Bitcoin needs to compete in the market. ‘Show me’ > ‘tell me’
But we also need to grow the number of people paying attention to that demonstration.
We need to continue to become a bigger part of the conversation.
maybe in other words…since the early adopters are all already here (the ones who get on board with bitcoin ideologically, through curiosity & learning), other folks not so educationally inclined will get into bitcoin if it’s super easy for them or if it’s clearly the better choice for them in the market.
& perhaps you’re giving too much credit to the alt-coiners, etc. it seems to me that most of those folks merely got into that stuff for a get-rich-quick scheme/hope.
Yeah altcoiners def got into it to try to increase their fiat stack.
Each phase of people we try to orange pill will need a different approach.
Think of it this way: everyone who benefit a appeals to will be orange pulled by benefit a.
But people who need to understand benefit b, whether they value benefit a or not, also need to understand and believe benefit b before they’re convinced. And so on…
There’s also the challenge of understanding each benefit. Some people aren’t informed enough to do so. They may never be. This is where usability, seamless experience, integration with existing paradigms becomes more important.
So we also need to address the challenge of understanding how to access and use bitcoin. In order to get past the early adopters, Bitcoin probably needs to be a native experience in something they’re using - ie: a marketplace, social media, rewards cards, retirement account, etc.

yes, def. many out there will come to bitcoin when it’s very easy for them to do so.
