Maybe it's not even difficulty. It's network effects. The Mob Rules. https://song.link/us/i/298099003

No, no, you make a good point. It's similar to the Bitcoin energy usage argument that nocoiners like to throw at us. OK, Bitcoin uses energy. What about the legacy system? How many kiloWatt-hours of electricity and therms of natural gas have been consumed by the legacy banks, ATMs, armored car services, etc.? Email and internet dealt with the same thing. I bet the energy footprint of the postal system has decreased significantly, offsetting at least some of the energy usage of the internet.

The masses know how to give up their sovereignty. Learning to preserve it is a new skill that must be learned. Anything new is a bridge too far for the majority of society.

I doxxed myself a few years ago cuz, come and fucking get me bitches. I have no family, so noone to suffer from my war against these demon fucks. But I understand those who need or desire to be anon 🫡

I'm not even trying to be a purist or whatever. I've signed up for some of that shit to interact with people in my life. Maybe whatever that appeals to me isn't there, so I just see the aggravation of it all. Honestly makes my sympathetic to the reluctance the few I've told about this space exhibit whenever I go off on some tangent about how kewl it is you don't need an "identity" to sign up.

Bitcoin has made me too an energy maxing supporter.

Stability and comfort are the opiates of the masses. It’s disheartening for sure.
