 The issue is simply that isn’t literally
Importable for it not to have been. And trust me it wasn’t for lack of Bitcoiners trying. We did everything we could, spending an excruciating amount of time trying to explain it and tell people about it when it was worth nothing but we saw the potential it had to solve an absolutely massive problem!

Sorry if the response came off a little direct, but most of the time when people bring that up they like to scream and complain about “unfairness,” when many many more people did know about it for a very long time, they just ridiculed everyone who used it and called it stupid. 

When you tell someone about it, they call you an idiot, then years later it’s worth a lot more, and they call it unfair and say you’ve received unjust return… it can often make one want to punch said person in the face. 🤣
