0 sats \ 4 replies \ @Khunsa 15 Aug \ on: A Real SPAM solution: People using Bitcoin bitcoin
You’re absolutely right about the spam issue and Bitcoin adoption — we can’t afford to be apathetic about it.
However, I believe the situation is more complex than what’s described in the post. It’s not just a matter of choosing between saving or spending; part of the problem lies in the lack of infrastructure.
What do I mean by that? As a bitcoiner, to spend or use your money, you often have to jump through countless hoops or rely on third-party companies that convert your sats into fiat for the business where you’re making a purchase. And it’s rare to find stores that accept Bitcoin directly.
I believe that if we empower more businesses and give them easy, ready-to-use tools, this general apathy would gradually turn into clearer and more conscious decision-making in the medium term.
That’s why I decided to move forward with my idea, ZatoBox #1064780 a system designed to hand everything to businesses on a silver platter, so they can be part of this revolution that’s growing every day.
In my opinion it's not a lack of wallets... not really.
It's lack of education, laziness, and an unfriendly regulatory environment that doesn't want Bitcoin competing with banks/central banks.
Just in my opinion.

You're right about empowering businesses, but why are you worried about spam when Bitcoin still has a reliable and completely secure network? We Bitcoiners have discovered this wonderful world and woken up from the Fiat madness, but there are people who don't even know about this. I think it's better to have quality than quantity. Bitcoin will continue to be Bitcoin with or without us who know what it is.

Spam indirectly results in many cases of bloating of the UTXO set which makes it more difficult/more expensive hardware-wise to run a node.
Once the node is 'set up' it's ok... but it makes the IBD (initial block download) take longer.

I didn't know that, I've been in Bitcoin for a short time and I thought this didn't influence the blockchain or mining.
