• The conversation also addresses the differing needs for Bitcoin in various economic contexts, particularly contrasting users in the Western world with those in regions experiencing unstable banking systems. The speakers suggest that while some users might prioritize saving and holding Bitcoin, others in less developed financial environments may look to Bitcoin as a vital means of conducting everyday transactions. In what ways can the Bitcoin community better cater to the payment needs of users in countries with weaker financial infrastructures?
