It's the breadth and depth of the topic that ensures me that our "elites" have no idea what to do about it, tbh. The number of disciplines required to innovate a counter to this human invention don't exist in any people I know.
Thanks Matt, big fan of your work. I’m new to bitcoin and looking at it from a finance angle. I’ve been jumping around on YouTube and CoinDesk reading and watching as much as I can. How do you learn? I find my self going deep into rabbit holes quickly. Do you have a structured perspective or program that you recommend? A particular website that you think is great?
If there's a 'Unified Theory' behind modern life it is this: The 'New and Improved' Way of doing things is inevitably more work than the Old Way. For me, among the more startling entries involves me being admitted to a football game. The 'Old Way' was the football teams sending me three cents worth of cardboard with a barcode on it. This worked for the past decade or two, all I had to do to gain admission was hold the cardboard barcode up to a scanner as I passed through the admission gate.
Easy, right?
The 'New and Improved' way now require a smart phone. Now we're talking a device that's worth several hundred dollars, in order to replace three cents of cardboard for however many games the team plays. So the ROI for me is... you figure it out.
But wait, there's more. It generally takes between two and four gate attendants to get me through the gate, for the football team's allegedly 'easy to use' app for the smartphone isn't as easy as it should be. Either that, or I'm not the best at using it or at using a smartphone. Guilty as charged.
Well, there's plenty more, on all sorts of topics. I'll spare you the rest.
For me, taking a five dollar bill out of my wallet is easier than whatever the alleged benefits of bitcoin might be. Same goes for larger amounts of currency. Matthew, you're the messenger - and I understand that. The problem isn't you and the problem isn't bitcoin per se, it's those that have preceded you and their 'New and Improved' ideas that haven't panned out the way they intended it to, the old way being far simpler, easier to use, and for which I've already learned where the potential chicaneries lie. Previous efforts by others muddied the waters on this, and in some cases poisoned them irrevocably.
Before you got here, they did this... Such are the foibles of the modern world.
Also, speaking of talking to people, my Desktop signal app is now saying that basically every message in the bitcoin education group is undeliverable to me. My phone app works fine, so I guess I'm not banned somehow, but I can't seem to fix this. Anyone know how to resolve this issue? I've not used Signal much, and it doesn't appear to have a lot of options on refreshing a group or anything.

One can save much time and expense, and lost investments, by reading this and remembering the tech is irrelevant to the economic fundamentals of Bitcoin. One of the authors is an economist. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B098GT2HJJ/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I might recommend this group. They are respected in the remote viewing community.
