That is sad about series 2 coming out and being even less Bitcoin centric...  Add my list to the names of people likely not interested in the next series.

Sorry to hear that, but I understand your position.  

In fairness, the set was never intended to be primarily about Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for that matter.

The goal was always to tell a story about money and finance through trading cards.  That includes a number of different people, currencies, cryptos, memes and commodities.  Not all of which I or anyone at Cardsmiths personally agrees with or condone.  I certainly don't agree with fiat currencies, Sam Bankman Fried, Mt Gox, using wooden sticks as money, or the Bitconnect scam, but all are part of the history of money at this point.

That said, there are more BTC and Satoshi specific cards in Series 1 than any other card type and Series 2 has close to 15 cards that are either specifically BTC, Satoshi or BTC adjacent.  That's slightly more than the amount we had of the same in series 1.  We've just elected to tease more of the other cards types thus far to try and appeal to a broader audience.  The best way to educate people about the benefits of Bitcoin is by weaving it into a number of different aspects of culture.  Otherwise, you just end up preaching to the converted.
