Bitcoin is getting better all the time. There are more people focusing purely on payments in the bitcoin space than you think. The lightning network is halfway usable now, and federated mint type systems (like cashu[1]) are very promising.

- berkes 3y agoBitcoin is still "improving", as tech. I know. But the community at large, is still crap. Rugpulls, pyramid schemes, bad management, misleading marketing and so on, are more common than not. It's easier to get scammed or grifted than to find a good, solid provider of a service. That's even more true for the cryptocurrency world at large, but even for the "niche" of bitcoin(maximalists) this goes.
- asystole 3y agoThe "crypto" world is 99% scams and 1% misguided nonsense, I agree. Wrt bitcoin, there are a lot of extremely talented, honest and trustworthy people working on both the technical side and providing services. Look at the projects and people sponsored by Opensats [1] for some good examples. I know many people will reflexively disagree with the notion that the bitcoin world isn't entirely made up of bros and scammers. [1]: https://opensats.org/projects https://opensats.org/projects
