Marcus Aurelius taught me that you cannot expect apples from a pear tree. Nor can you expect kindness from evil people, just as you cannot expect stupid people to stop doing stupid things.
Bitcoin and Nostr will never achieve mass acceptance. To think otherwise is to think that the world is not stupid and that people do not believe in left or right, nor do they save in fake money.
You must accept this, and it's not a bad thing. Just save yourself and your loved ones.

Disagree. Stoicismigot popularized in a religious wrapper. Bitcoin nostr will be similar. People will use it without knowing
They will use it only in the situation of no choice over that. I mean, all freedom tech is only mass used when a country goes into war or when the state go far beyond the limits.
You can tell a good number of intelligent people about bitcoin; what it is, how it works, why it's needed and they're still like, nopeπ€·π»ββοΈ. There are a great deal more stupid people, than intelligent ones. Sadly, you are correct in your thinking!
That just proves those people are not truely intelligent. Only "intelligent" in the fiat Boot licker world
Well, you know what I meanπ€·π»ββοΈπ.

Cool, I'll give that a readππ».
It's a good one to share with your yuppie elite friends. At the very least, the chart. Not that it ever really gets through, but maybe plants a seed of doubt anyway
Almost bobody knows how Fiatmoney works. Still it is used by stupid and intelligent people. More stupid people will use Bitcoin sooner than inteligent people. Not because they understand it faster but because the will have a need sooner. - Just my two cents. Might be wrong. We'll see.
The masses are the masses. There is no such thing as to expect the slaves to want freedom if freedom means effort and change. This hurts me a lot day by day, but it is the truth; They are not looking to go out of their lives, to move from their country, to use freedom tools as we know in the digital world, to get autonomy over what they use daily. They LOVE the life they have too much for accepting the onus that comes with freedom.
So, no DIY, no opensource, no privacy, no autonomy to the masses. Salvation is individual while condemnation is colective.
The truth hits hard, fam. The masses are comfy in their routine, and change? Nah, thatβs not the vibe. π₯΄ They cling to what they know, even if it means giving up real freedom. Itβs rough to watch, but itβs real talk. DIY, opensource, privacy? Not on their radar. π Individual salvation is the game, while the collective stays stuck. Letβs keep pushing for that change, even if it feels lonely
Thanks for your wisdom β₯οΈπ
You can graft apple tree onto a pear tree though.
