 It's such an obvious problem (The Most Common Complaint) I have to wonder why clients haven't tried something different at onboarding? Probably because growth/retention is the main thing, and bitcointwitter people actually stay (because they have found bitcointwitter2 lol). 

The radio and permaculture communities are hopeful and should be amplified at onboarding (imo). Perhaps there is an idea that they are too niche, and the mythological normies from TikTok must be appealed to (they haven't even heard of Nostr and they're not coming any time soon lol). Meanwhile supposedly 'niche' Meshtastic content on YouTube can get millions of views.

Permaculture and radio content is sort of venn diagram a bitcoin community thing (preppery type stuff). And the hope is the Venn diagrams of content and communities spreads further out. Whilst also battling against the bitcointwitter sloganeering putting lots of people off.

🤞
