 Ok I’ve been back home for the first time in 3 years. Seeing some mild genuine interest in Bitcoin from friends and relatives that are finally feeling the pain of inflation. Problem: some can’t even safely secure or remember their important passwords for things like their online banking and emails. Some can’t differentiate between a web based implementation and an installed app. Or even know what an executable is.   Or where their downloads folder is. Or how to answer correctly when prompted for an exe to make changes to their system. 

It sometimes feels like Bitcoin adoption is really going to hinge on creating an army of uncle Jim’s that fill the gaps in knowledge so the normies don’t just lose half the supply.
