My most controversial Bitcoin opinion is that Bitcoin has fail conditions and the normalization of custodians is one of them.

Well "its too hard" isn't helpful feedback. Its pretty easy for me.

Liana made a cool thing where they expect your backup to be other devices rather than a seed phrase

Quite frankly the seed phrase model itself is brain dead easy.

Made the lightning network braindead easy.

And in case I didn't link it before, I did actually write an article about how Facebook wasn't adopted by the elderly due to being made any easier, it was just because they wanted to talk to their kids

I live in a country where majority of its citizens don't have an email address and don't know what's an ATM. I honestly don't expect them to figure out how to setup a coldcard MK4. I'm being realistic

Okay yeah you're going to have to be looking at the younger generation to get the ball rolling.

The older generation is like a donkey. Very stubborn and doesn't like to be lead around.

The younger generation has a natural curiosity to figure out new things as well as a natural tendency for better or for worse to spite the older generation lmao.

Lots of people say for example "wow this 12 year old built their own computer!", but I think they're only surprised because they underestimate the younger generation. They underestimate the power of neural plasticity over established wisdom lol.

I put a lot of information on how to do things to right way in that article. You should definitely read it.

I get your point, but I feel it has less to do with how technically literate the next generations will be and more to do with the human nature of being lazy and delegating their work to others.

Most humans are lazy, they hate taking responsibilities and love delegating their work to others.

These people will always exist, and they will always deputise their coins to custodians instead of doing the work themself

Hence the Matt Odell quote: https://primal.net/thread/note1kudtv9heulax5g6kznfv7vnz9jwssau2wcjuj9mukzlqugtqnfsqt6xzkk

Plus the importance of the pain of consequences: https://stacker.news/items/86764

But that they will always exist is one thing, that this behavior will be normalized is another.
