Kick-starting #Bitcoin #SkepticismSundays ๐Ÿ˜Ž

One of the things that showed me the intellectual honesty of the Monero community and helped to force the community to stay grounded in reality and always laser focused on their core ethos was their weekly "Skepticism Sunday" Reddit threads. These threads allowed the community to come together, ask hard and skeptical questions about the design of Monero, the privacy provided, the economic approach, and much more.

In my time in Bitcoin I've never seen anything similar, but the nuanced and high-signal crowd on Nostr seems like a perfect fit to fire things up and see how it goes.

The goal of this thread (which I'll post weekly on Sunday's) is for discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Bitcoin.

NOT the positive aspects of it.

Discussing things with a critical thinking approach and level-headed discussion helps us learn where Bitcoin and it's community can improve and go from there.

I know this is late on Sunday, will post earlier next week but would love to hear y'all's thoughts on the concept or skepticism ๐Ÿ™‚

Inheritance is still a nightmare. I'm an IT pro with security training. Designing a system that keeps my sats safe from theft but makes them available to my wife and kid if I get hit by a bus is still a challenge. I'm not happy with what I've built. I don't see great options around.

As an aside, I love this idea. Can't wait to see what everyone else says.

One of my main concerns is a lack of privacy features, scaling on-chain issues and potential centralization factor of the Lightning Network. On the privacy issue, you brought up some great points with #[2]'s podcast about UTXOs can leak info... Maybe this is something that can be solved at the wall...

Love this idea, Seth. Will help the community become more resilient and self-aware. ๐Ÿ™
