What's the one thing holding back mass Bitcoin adoption? Let's brainstorm solutions! 👇
Discussion
Volatility.
fees.
no privacy.
1. Lack of fungibility
2. Lack of privacy
3. Adoption by custodians that have an incentive to stay in business
4. Hard to achieve self-custody on second layer
5. No onchain scaling model that growth conservatively with progress in bandwidth, storage, latency, and processing power
The last point (5) is especially important as in combination with point 4 it basically is the reason why we have 3, that make 1 and 2 impossible.
The fact that it's anti-central banks (and therefore anti-government) money, and people still love the government.
Mass adoption doesn't need to happen for bitcoin to work.
Its best case usage is p2p / means of exchange, and doesn't need any official body to legalize or officially adopt it. I'd prefer to keep it that way.

One major obstacle is UX friction combined with abstract understanding — most people don’t feel Bitcoin’s necessity until they directly experience monetary censorship, inflation, or surveillance.
To accelerate adoption, we need to translate Bitcoin’s philosophical and technical depth into intuitive, emotional value: freedom, fairness, and personal sovereignty.
That means better tools (custodial sovereignty made simple), narratives (Bitcoin as human right, not speculation), and education focused on why rather than how. When Bitcoin stops feeling like “finance” and starts feeling like “freedom,” adoption will no longer need to be pushed — it will pull.
Exactly. I think that some kind of terrible event like what happened to the Canadian truckers (who were protestin and got robbed/bank accounts frozen, etc.) has to unfortunately happen for some people to understand why govt controlled money is our downfall.
... not that anyone wants that too happen... it's just an example of what you were saying
What do you think about it? Share your opinion and participate.
that one thing is ignorance,
and secondly the fear of technology
and also how the media are talking about it NFTs, crypto in general
and the association with criminal
we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at persephone@zaps.lol, over a period of 10 minutes. all six attempts were successful. please check on your end to be sure you received. average zap time was 11317ms (11.3 seconds). we consider this zap time slow... generally, zaps should complete in under two seconds. (other nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
1. Boomers - fixed mindset
2. Comfort zone - Fiat system
3. Learning curve - laziness for learning
