Controversial take: Too many bitcoiners believe that superior technology leads to inevitable adoption, but this just isn’t true. Ask Betamax, Newton, or Pebble.

If we want to see widespread adoption, we need far better marketing (or any at all), the overall community needs to be more welcoming of differing views, and luck needs to be on our side. Without those, even the most revolutionary technology can be forgotten to history.

Not disagreement, but a sort of counterpoint:

Shitcoiners believe they will outpace us on the same feature-tech fallacy.

They won't be convinced, so it's fine to not waste time on them. And sometimes, reverse psychology helps where logic won't.

Better to nurture folks that are ready.

Bickering with shitcoin communities is pointless. The marketing bitcoin needs is for the majority of the world that has never used it.

Story branding is a powerful technique more Bitcoiners (myself included) need to leverage in their marketing efforts.
