#1 deterrent to bitcoin adoption is having no knowledge of money. Bitcoin looks stupid & insane to a mind that believes money is debt backed paper created out of thin air by a stranger in a private bank. It highlights a major problem, and cognitive dissonance wins the battle

It begs the question, is bitcoin a “lead by example” technology and lesson? Is there any point in “marketing” or public outreach. I get the feeling that unless you’ve got a business model and are mining fiat, teaching people about bitcoin should have a paywall, otherwise it’s an enormous waste of time, because 9/10 they’re likely not mentally available for it.

If we want #Bitcoin to be adopted, I think we need to lead by example. Show how it fits into our lives daily. We are 100% going to fall on deaf ears most of the time. Unfortunately, that’s just where we are at this point of Bitcoin’s life cycle. But we still have to try.

We’re at inception, it’s heart just started beating. Have to have insane low time preference. I think the panic of longing for mass adoption is a fiat error code.

Agreed. I hope to see it become more mainstream here in the states in 10-20 years.
