Still feel the same about this recommendation? 'Get people into Bitcoin at all costs, even if it means trusting centralized banks'?

It’s easy to take the approach while sitting on the sidelines. It’s harder in practice. I tipped a delivery guy in bitcoin and tried to use Phoenix. Guess what? Shitcoiners clogged the mempool thereby making it impractical. What was the alternative? WoS or fiat and admit defeat. Bet your ass I’m picking WoS.
WoS has rugged 0 people as far as we know. They’ll still get their Sats.
How many people who have never touched bitcoin before first touched it there and went on to be Orange pilled? Bet you it’s way more than 0.
Honestly if Bitcoiners spent half as much time either building better tools or persuading more people as they did commiserating and circle jerking on nostr we’d be way better off.
