I think the biggest bottleneck for bitcoin adoption is education. I’ve tried to convince several people in the past year to learn about it, but they weren’t very interested. Bitcoin will eventually win because our wealth goes up over time, which allows us to build. Fiat is self-destructive and makes its holders poor.

I have moved from trying to convince to passionately learning as much as I can and that becoming part of my identity. Eventually people ask and I just try to ask them questions and offer some resources if they are interested. I still have yet to come along g someone in my everyday life that it has all clicked. Nostr is nice but doesn’t replace going to have a beer and conversation.

Yeah I also try to stop myself from bringing it up all the time. I can see how it could get annoying. It’s just hard because it’s such a big part of my worldview. Nostr is great. I’m enjoying it so far. It’s just hard to get anyone to read my posts. Thanks for the follow btw.

Where you from? I am small town in Iowa, USA. I am 5 years and a couple thousand hours into Bitcoin. It is going to change the world for the better I am all-in. Number go up is great but restructuring the global economy and leveling the playing field for all humanity is what makes it beautiful!

I’m a college student in Texas. I got into crypto during the 2021 bull run and got smoked by the bankruptcies. At the bottom of the bear market in 2022, I started learning about what sets Bitcoin apart. Now all my savings are in Bitcoin (cold storage) and I’m running a node. I hope to have a little mining setup soon for learning purposes. I’m really excited to see the progress that humanity can make when the system treats everyone fairly.

Awesome to hear your story. I tried to lever up my Bitcoin holdings by taking out loans in the last run up and lost all my gains. We all learn the hard way. I became a Christian in college and devoted thousands of hours to learning and studying my faith. Was passionate about helping change the world and did mission work. Started a family and worked a job for 13 years before finding Bitcoin. 💩 coins and get rich were my motives but I stayed curious and it relit that passion I had when I 1st became a Christian. It was a revelation that created within my soul a revolution. I have hope for my kid’s future in both this world and the next. You have a bright future just stay curious and read as many books as possible as you will be tempted to chase shiny distractions.
