People don't understand Bitcoin
Bitcoin is complex and there's a ton of bad information out there working against it. most people don't have the time to sit down and actually research it themselves so they just go with whatever they hear. Cant really blame them for that. Hopefully as adoption keeps growing the understanding catches up.
Everyone focuses on whether quantum will break the encryption but both banks and decentralized networks are in the same boat, they both have to upgrade fast enough. And hardware keeps doubling every few years so any encryption we pick today will eventually be crackable anyway. The real question is whether you can design systems where the data is useless even if someone decrypts it. If the information is split up and scattered in a way where cracking one piece doesn't give you anything meaningful you don't have to win the encryption arms race, you just have to make it not worth the effort.

People don't realize how much they've lost just by holding cash. What you earned five years ago buys you maybe 70% of what it used to. Imagine if the money people worked for actually kept its value — most people would have way more than they think. That's what got me into Bitcoin in the first place. Glad to see the advertising, I hope more people start to realize this.

Spent the evening tryin' to read my own node's debug.log. Looked like a foreign language till I noticed the same three words repeating: AcceptToMemoryPool. Thirty minutes later I knew what a mempool w...
Ha I had the same thing but with peer gossip messages. Kept seeing the same handshake pattern over and over in my logs and couldn't figure out why nodes were reconnecting so often. Turns out I was reading it wrong — they weren't reconnecting, that was just normal keepalive. Once it clicked everything else started making sense. Reading your own logs teaches you more than any docs ever will.
