While noble, I think most see banking the unbanked as a less profitable business and therefor not going to be successful

Ohh how I love Alice 🧑

Well, it’s been 3 years since the article was written. If no solution exists yet today, then my conclusion is that we need another bull market so btc companies can afford to pay competitive salaries and bring more tech talent into the industry πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ we need more people who have built successful B2C & B2B products.

When bitcoin hits 100k, the classic β€œI’ll wait till it goes back down” response will persist

Wow, well this resonates and highlights the problem but I am missing a solution in this article. Shouldn’t we solve this challenge rather than shrugging our shoulders? I say this without having an answer myself.

As a recruiter, I am seeing more tradfi yuppie Bitcoiners and far fewer tech yuppie bitcoiners. We need their talents in the ecosystem.

Has anyone had any luck orange pilling yuppies?

If someone has been served well by the system, gone to the elite institutions in the world and you tell them the establishment system is broken and wrong, it’s hard for them to take it seriously. From their point of view the system works very well.

Then the tech yuppies seem even more difficult to interest. They may even own some bitcoin but they think the opportunity has mostly passed. Being in tech, they are wired to look for the next bitcoin. Being over 10 years old, it’s old news, not cutting edge.

I don’t really broach the subject with my friends in SF. Some are founders of tech startups others are leaders in FANG companies. They have always been supportive of me and celebrated that I started my own company and are curious about how business is going but less so about the industry itself. While β€œdisruptive” is a buzzword they are all too familiar with, separation of money from state is far too disruptive to consider given they have faired quite well within the system that exists today.

πŸ˜‚. Good on you for being active there though. It may not be as cool as Nostr but it is where we need to be conversing about bitcoin to increase adoption

Sounds amazing. I hope you both are totally rejuvenated πŸ§–β€β™€οΈ

Historical art deck apartment is such a vibe πŸ˜‚

Excited to go to the coastal forest this weekend! What are everyone else’s plans?
