I wonder if there isn't a big mismatch in the world of Bitcoin funding: too much dedicated to experimental wallets, niche technologies, Bitcoin Core fuzz testing and failed startups that market themselves to existing Bitcoiners; too little dedicated to producing useful stuff that non-Bitcoiners want, or straight-up buying existing businesses and turning them into Bitcoin companies.

This is the best news I've seen for Bitcoin in a long time: View quoted note โ†’ What other cases there are of services with real customers selling something that isn't "for bitcoiners" that stopped taking fiat payments? My expectation and hope was always that a percentage of customers would bite the bullet and figure out how to get some coins in order to buy the thing. Most of them would find out it wasn't that hard anyway. Now imagine if more services did this. Or imagine a world in which bitcoiners produced things that the external world wanted to buy, but was only being sold for Bitcoin?

If bitcoiners started buying popular assets which are already in daily use (restaurants, toll roads, electrical grids) and started only accepting BTC for payment MoE adoption would happen overnight

I think the mismatch is less funding and more audience. Plenty of 'useful for normies' businesses exist already, but most people still dont want better money until fiat pain makes the lesson personal.

If have the feeling that too much energy is wasted in workarounds than in implementing final solutions. BitVM <-> Simplicity We could have all the nice stuff but having such so slow speed after 18 years of Bitcoin development makes me pessimistic about cool new features

Create a distributed bitcoin-only version of eBay. A place where people go to sell or auction-off their second-hand stuff as well as stuff they make. It'd be a better means of getting bitcoins than buying them with fiat money at an exchange.

๐Ÿ”ด What Is Islam? ๐Ÿ”ด Islam is not just another religion. ๐Ÿ”ต It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. ๐Ÿ”ด Islam literally means โ€˜submission to Godโ€™ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. ๐Ÿ”ต It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. ๐Ÿ”ด It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. ๐ŸŒ The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: ๐Ÿ“– { โ€œSay, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.โ€} (Quran 112:1-4) ๐Ÿ“š ๐Ÿ”ด Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. ๐Ÿ”ต Rather itโ€™s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.
