> Really? You can't think of any way the technology and tools could improve to make using Bitcoin less awkward? I can, I just don't see things trending in that direction. ATMs were supposed to make it easy for anyone to participate; now they are best known as a place for scammers to direct victims to. Lightning network was supposed to increase the transaction rate, where is it now? It's been a few years since I've seen a "Bitcoin accepted here" decal in real life, and they are much sparser online too. Funny enough, I checked my history and I made a similar comment to yours when Bitcoin first hit $4[1]. But I hardly see the case for optimism lately. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2501153 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2501153
