I've long held the belief that we need something new. Life circumstances prevented me from getting involved in this particular movement near its inception - which, it is what it is. I'm certainly not seeking out "ease of transition." Just trying to see the difference.
I think this calls for more contemplation on my part.
I would encourage you find a group of vitcoiners in your community and pay for goods and services with lightning. You ha e to use it and touch it in order to experience how easy it is.
Also, the nostr meetups are really cool. I wouldn't go to the "bitcoin" meetups. They are dick measuring contests.
I plan to stick with it - if only in a minor way at first. It's still too early for me to decide. I'm of the opinion that the best place to "play" is where the clearest "rules" are - while keeping a watchful eye on the horizon. That's why I'm here to begin with actually.
Already been informally invited to a Bitcoin meetup. 🤣
Continue at your own pace, half the fun is trying to figure out the potential, where it falls short, where it can improve, and why it's so important to begin with. It's a complicated sequence of questions, application, testing things out. Stay away from the 'newer better stronger faster' garbage.
There's something to Bitcoin on so many different levels to so many people with different lifestyles.
To me it's almost like a global distrbuted language of value transfer, without the ability of one entity to change that.
... However thinking of it in terms of language, I've heard Bip39 seed phrases can be difficult to read in other languages... But that's way out of my league.
