The mainstream is always a failure

It's easier to blame mainstream for the problems we have with bitcoin.

A supplier who feels responsible for customers' preferences runs the risk of manipulating them. For example, the notion that "It's a failure that most users don't abstain from alcohol" leads to patronizing regulation against drinking.

World was not created to be alcohol free. Bitcoin was created to avoid trusted third parties. Use better analogy.

hey, we tried to ⚡zap this note at at floppy@joinstr.xyz, but it seems this lightning address isn't working... just wanted to give you a heads up in case you would like to fix it... we recommend a cloud-based Lightning node for highest reliability.
