Haha I’ve made it a habit everywhere I go to ask now. My wife thinks I’m mental when I ask in Tesco if they accept bitcoin every time I go in

I don’t think hardly anyone realises what a big deal this is yet

Fair enough- I was genuinely asking though as in would it be helpful if I make a video answering those questions from a non techy point of view. Or do people know the answers and just choose not to hear them?

I mean all of that is addressed by Murch in the chat and has been addressed many times. Does it not make sense what he says? Or is it that people still just don’t believe him/ all of the many people explaining it? or what is it exactly? I’m genuinely confused at this point by how angry everyone is. Tbh it’s making me think this- the real threat is something else (like ETFs buying it all up) so they’ve managed to make bitcoiners create their own FUD to distract them turn on each other and allow them to gobble up even more.

No way! Is this actually happening? In the UK you can get a max 5 year fixed interest rate in most cases - I think there are a few terrible rates you can get for a 10 year fixed rate- but in the US or Canada isn’t a longer fix more common?

If you’re used to X and post a lot this will help. I’ve just been on a massive socmed detox for about 3 years now, I find it hard to get back into it. But I do learn some good stuff on here so I check in from time to time

Yeah it just seems like a total mess now the whole thing is getting silly. I agree 1000000% that bitcoin should be money. But the only solution to this so far (the soft fork) seems terrible and almost on the way to it becoming “unpermissionless”. Which I would argue it actually worse. If someone could actually put together proper code for this and if it could actually solve the spam problem then I’d be down for a soft fork. This seems rushed and not thought out though (from what I can tell from an untechy mind) I worry the soft fork happens doesn’t work and Bitcoin loses 10% plus people who believe this is the only solution (just like Bitcoin cash crew)

Agreed- it’s helped me tremendously

This is the real threat

Yeah valid appreciate this! 1. True- I didn’t mean it to come across that way. I just meant I’ve typically found it easier to understand knots point of view 2. Yeah citrea seems like scum to me- agree this shouldn’t be the sole reason to do it. Did you see the other twitter post I shared as to other reasons? But like I say I still don’t pretend to understand all the nitty gritty of all of this 3. For the sake of this video I’m not interested in this. I just wanted to figure out if core 30 update was going to kill bitcoin. There’s so many nuances to the full core vs knots debate with people’s character on both sides called into question- and like I say I totally appreciate anyone who chooses either side, I see both sides, I get the frustration on both sides, but all the speculation is what seems to be triggering people. I’d love to see more objective handling of the whole mess Appreciate this comment

I may be able to help explain why… this was really really hard to do. I think most techie people wouldn’t be able to do it because they wouldn’t understand what I don’t know- and it’s incredibly hard not to use the buzz words (because that’s what the different parts are called) And then once you learn the words you quickly forget that most people don’t know what that means (similar to how it’s probably baffling to you why everyone doesn’t get Bitcoin- yet at some point in recent years you didn’t) especially if you do this stuff all day every day

I’m not sure what you’re implying here tbh - who’s being defeatist and what is the solution?
