Very well said! This is a much more eloquent explanation of something that I have been thinking and trying to articulate for a number of years now.

For too long, I have been feeling like 'we' have been content with watching ngu and transferring funds around inside a fairly closed loop, but it doesn't feel like the impact of Bitcoin and freedom tech in general has been anything like as great as what I'd hoped and expected by now.

I'm not sure what it's going to take to get a breakthrough, I've tried BTC payments for photography, 3dprinting etc, but never managed to get anywhere, even among other bitcoiners. I'm sure most of that is lack of talent on my part, but even in the dystopian hellscape that is the UK, there seems to be little interest. Oh well, tomorrow is another day, I will keep trying new things and see if anything breaks through....

Thanks so much for the article!
