If Preston could leave behind only one piece of wisdom for those who will come after him, what would it be?

It's one thing to be skeptical of Bitcoin when you first hear about it. It's hard to believe that such an odd architecture could survive the test of time.

And yet, the folks who have by far taken the biggest L are those who were on the cypherpunks mailing list, said it would never work, and continue to deny the past 14 years of evidence to the contrary.

Why do you still trust the bank?

It is just the head or the whole body?

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

I wish my front door looked like this lol

Want me to keep going? Any favorite one?

I am getting so old I'm catching myself saying "young man" and "son" to kids in their 20s

We have a challenge for adoption in the terminology we use.

Imagine you’re trying to tip a restaurant server or bartender who has never used bitcoin before.

Do you say:

“Can I tip you in bitcoin?”

“Can I tip you with sats?”

“Can I tip you with Lightning?”

Something else?

If you say “bitcoin” you take the chance of triggering an bias response, such as:

“No thanks, I don’t understand crypto.”

“Didn’t that whole thing just collapse?”

“I’m just getting by, I need real money.”

Etc.

If you don’t say “bitcoin” you then have to explain what sats/satoshis are, what the Lightning network is, why it’s faster than sending on-chain bitcoin. Before you know it, you sound like a crazy person trying to give an speech on economics, technology, and decentralization to someone who absolutely has no time for that.

And if you do succeed in convincing them to download a wallet and receive their first tip, the next question is usually, “How do I cash this out so I can actually use it?”

How do you approach this problem?
