Great post! When talking to people who are not submerged to a crypto information pool for a long time you quickly learn that their inability to get quality information already built a wall in their brains and they "filtering" every source now. That is not helping adoption for sure, its hard to break that wall.
Due to its nature Bitcoin gave birth to many wealthy monsters who are very well organized and financially educated to profit from it. I would love Bitcoin foundation to be more like FreeBSD foundation. It produced one of the best OS on a planet and functioning for 17+ years like a clock. You have to have strong authority to produce single source code tree in contrast with Linux/etc. Maybe something to learn from this example?
Said that I think this forum is on right track with all efforts and latest changes, I am actually surprised it is still that coherent considering speculative intent of overwhelming amount of participants. Keep up the great work!
