I’m growing more and more concerned about the reliance on GitHub.

And starting to think a bounty isn’t the right way to fund this work.

I am selling one Bitcoin 2023 General Admission conference ticket for 0.01 BTC. I booked with the early bird special before the date was known and can’t go. Just looking to recoup the cost. That’s a roughly $570 discount from current prices. I will need an email address to transfer the ticket to you on Tixr. Contact me if interested.

Weimar vibes everywhere.

Agreed, but it's mostly about convenience. Many people pay MORE for convenience. That's basically modern society.

But even if it's cheaper, if it's even slightly difficult to use, adoption will be very limited.

I'm among the most tech savvy people I know personally. I've tried lightning many times in the last couple years, and I kept giving up on it. Not until the last few months has it become easy enough to use. And I've never used Bitcoin to pay for something besides filling my lightning wallet.

Somehow it's already Sunday, and thus time for #SkepticismSundays 🤔

The goal of this thread (which I'll post weekly on Sunday's) is for discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Bitcoin.

NOT the positive aspects of it.

Discussing things with a critical thinking approach and level-headed discussion helps us learn where Bitcoin and it's community can improve and go from there. We had a *fantastic* amount of good conversations last week so I can't wait to see this week's!

What's gotten you thinking, has you concerned, or always irked you about Bitcoin, its ecosystem, etc. this week?
