I've had multiple people ask me for help getting into Bitcoin within the past month... During this price dump. I've never had this during a bear market before. Is anyone else experiencing this, or j...

Can relate. We have a physical Bitcoin shop in Paris. People continue to come buy their non KYC stuff on site, or online paying in Bitcoin to have privacy (associated with locker deliveries in many European countries).
Without the awful price action having major impact so far, people don't care so much it seems.

My 2 cents is that the current global environment of governmental threat (being all bankrupt they are becoming more and more dangerous) lead people to get interested in Bitcoin to protect themselves from theft.

The price drop is also viewed more and more as an opportunity even by noobs, not as a proof that bitcoin is dead.

Yeah but their is not social consensus needed for the features mentioned above. So it may be about security even if as a non développer I’d naively expect that libraries and SDK already do the work in term of security.
And that it’s in fact just a matter of shipping the feature. I guess it’s not exactly the case obviously but it still frustrating.

We seem far from “Clawd here is the code of my wallet, add the payjoin v2 feature using the Payjoin development kit” workflow, and just double checking that all seems ok afterward.

USDC on base seems far more common for 402 payments now than Bitcoin. Recently, even Stripe joined the bandwagon. That’s a centralized stablecoin on a permissioned chain. Agents are starting to use ...

You are basically saying that fiat and centralised but user friendly products are more used than Bitcoin. Not a surpise.
Agree on the fact that we have to build features and attract users in order to boost the adoption though...But it is still a "people don't need bitcoin (yet)" problem at core.

then you are more optimistic than me on the timeline. I think we have the low-hanging fruit of people who will be interested for either technical or ideological reasons. but for the vast swathes of no...

Most people will never care about the issues bitcoiners are aware of and that bitcoin fixes. It's as often a "pareto principle issue" that will lead about 20% of people waking up and using bitcoin. The other 80% remaining will follow by mimicry because they'll have to in order to not be left behind. It's the gunpowder dilemna that Saifedean recalls regularely. Either you adopt it, either you lose. You do it because the most successfull people are doing it, and are asking to be paid in it.

Listening to many of my friends in the Bitcoin or developer space, AI is seen as a game changer that will likely leave many developers and other professions unemployed, blah blah blah.

My answer is that, at best, it’s a good productivity-enhancing tool, like many other innovations before it—nothing more.

Yet, whether I’m right or they are, I can only observe that most Bitcoin wallets still haven’t implemented Payjoin v2, Silent Payments, or a clean and user-friendly coin control feature etc...—without even mentioning Lightning capabilities (which, in most cases, is a deliberate choice ok…).

So when will we actually witness the AI revolution in the Bitcoin space as end users ? Is it already happening and I fail to see that new features are added at an increased pace ?

Not here to flex… but we landed a 900G+ difficulty hit. It was one of the Canaan Avalon Home devices we are running inside the shop to heat it during winter.

In pleb terms (explanation maybe not needed here on nostr), it means that he target reached was “only” 130× bigger than what’s needed to find a block.
Huge , yet not so huge in fact.

Who on nostr is beating us ?

Yeah it involves many shades of custody through mints and liquid and Ark but it's the only way to go in order to scale Bitcoin without destroying it at its core.

We need a big spectrum of solutions adapted to everyone need. I don't think there will exist a perfect scaling solution one day, it's the sum of all of that small things alltogether that will achieve that.
