Many Bitcoiners think in terms of quantity: the more people we push through this funnel the more may stick around = more adoption. But adoption is not something that can only grow without cost. Turning people off has future consequences so we need quality from all of us not just the writers and podcasters. A key part of this model is that it also shows the negative side: the people actively working against adoption. Their impact is difficult to measure as there is no Google Trends for people who didnt"

"When you scroll through Bitcoin Twitter its easy to let arguments and fear mongering get to you and make you worry about its future. In practice much of this is fueled by bear market boredom and a sensationalistic drive for engagement 🙄 People love to pretend that they have uncovered some glaring issue in Bitcoin that nobody is taking seriously or that hasnt been discussed many times over. When you speak to technical people who have actually worked with Bitcoin Core and Lightning you find nuanced takes thoughtful responses and a deep care for the longevity of the network. Bitcoin is fine not"

"I've dedicated a lot of time to help people interpret the projects Bitcoin developers work on. At #BHB2023 @abitcoinperson and @josibake made me realize I need to start giving money too. As of today I'll allocate a small % of my monthly income to supporting Bitcoin development through @OpenSats This post is not meant as virtue signaling but to hopefully inspire others who have benefitted from Bitcoin in their lives to do the same Most Bitcoiners give more money to their usual subscriptions than to Bitcoin development. Maybe make it even and throw in $10 every month or whatever you can miss."

"Your situation does not apply to anyone though. If you are working two jobs (as the woman is and so is her husband) while trying to raise a kid you have pretty limited bandwidth. Now you have to convince your current employer or find a new one to pay you in bitcoin. Even while paid in bitcoin the cost of living so high that you save nothing. Yes you can use it but you are spending time and energy to ultimately not solve any direct problems for you. You may not reap the actual benefits of using a different system for years or decades. That is the "take""

If you still want the judgement: I'm surprised it even has 730k users given how poorly things have been going for crypto from an outside perspective. I get where you're going on the analysis. To clarify in that first column retention rate is not referring to monthly retention rate but just overall retention rate of people who might still be using their wallet. The "monthly" in the column next to that does make that part confusing in hindsight"

"To your earlier point Im sure some bridges will probably stay burnt given how principled some people are. Not everyone is able to move on and some will always hold grudges. If youre ok with that I think the key lies in making and keeping the intentions clear that the goal is to improve Bitcoin in careful ways. I think many observers cant keep track of that intention and at some point assume it is all for fun and to cause division. Others may think that some of the envisioned improvements are too risky and it is unlikely that messing around will change their minds so either way I would"
