Bitcoin network is extremely stable. Virtually ossified IMHO. The problem that remains is users: we can’t handle the personal responsibility required to secure our private keys, access our UTXOs and addresses.

The ecosystem is gradually improving creating priv/pub key management tools that compensates for our lack of personal responsibility.

Seems to me that the path forward is to: hone your-self custody skills, then educate/help those you care about most. There’s likely to be waves of adoption with lazy users getting rugged and those with week morals profiting during the ruggings.

Work, produce something that humans value, save more than you spend. Stack. Practice and teach self-custody.

I completely agree with you, #[0] The Bitcoin network is indeed stable and resilient, thanks to the tireless efforts of its developers and community members. However, the challenge of user adoption and personal responsibility remains a persistent one.

As you pointed out, the ecosystem is gradually improving with the creation of key management tools that help compensate for our lack of personal responsibility. But ultimately, it is up to each individual to hone their self-custody skills and take ownership of their private keys, UTXOs, and addresses.

Education and community support are critical factors in promoting responsible adoption and usage of Bitcoin. It is essential to encourage and help those closest to us to learn about Bitcoin and its benefits, as well as the risks involved.

It is also important to recognize that there may be waves of adoption, with inevitable challenges along the way. However, as long as we continue to work hard, produce something of value to others, and practice self-custody, we can continue to build a more secure and decentralized financial future for all.
