Govs will and can shutdown non-custodials too .. unless it is as pervasive as internet .. for example .. if they mandate all btc ETFs to hold part of their bitcoin with Fed , #bitcoin will crash .. or they can choke coinbase at any time ..
The idea that self custody bitcoin can sustein its weight without being pervasive is far fetched ..
Unless you have five billion people using zaps .. and it is like in the blood ..
Revolutions always happen bottom and up ..
And btw .. #bitcoin education .. as it stands today is horrible .. it is hard for tech savvy normies .. not even talk about billions of not so educated ..
Education must focus on Sats and zaps .. immutable ledger , self custody , digital capital , digital gold , ..these narratives are for macro economists :+) .. common people don't even open their ears to such talk ..
👍
teaching private key management is the fundamental block
Yup .. and we don't need to tackle this block at this time .. at this point solmn goal should be
"Zap 2 billion people " till it becomes a verb ..like Google ..
Also conveying money is a tool/technology, not a universal constant guided by benevolent wisemen (for US audiences anyway). And like many other tools, has been co-opted by a few to the detriment of many.
its like the difference between the internet and CompuServe and Prodigy in the early days.
yeah they can shut it down,
but it's orders of magnitude more difficult
there is no solution that escapes the necessity for people to learn self custody.
which is another way of saying "private key management."
its will be a basic skill for the digital age.
if not to secure your own money, then to prove your own identity.
Sir .. my wife is an electrical engineer from one of the most reputed institute ( in India ) .. when I try to talk self custody to her .. she looks at me as if I am a wall .. with no paintings or decor ..
Now I see your point with generational shift .. yes ..new kids will have it in their DNA .. but that again means another fifteen years ..
