I love Stacker News. I wish the whole internet were more like it... and I think it will be eventually but take a really long time.
If I'm being honest the cycles scare me. YES, there will be more NgU and NgD 'cycles' that's not what concerns me.
It's the 'eternal September', the lack of education, the lack of a 'new-employee-onboarding' program...
When someone "joins" Bitcoin where do they get educated? What do they learn? Where do they learn what to do and not to do?
How do people learn to avoid scams? (like Proof of Stake)
How to they know not to trade? Where do they know where to spend Bitcoin?
What are the standardization requirements? What is the "basic knowledge" one should have to be a 'beginner' Bitcoiner? None of this stuff is standardized and it shows.
I have talked to several friends about Bitcoin, sent them resources to learn, shown them some basic wallets, a good 'exchange'...
And they come back with like the most random Shitcoins they are interested in I have never even heard of. "Titcoin it's interesting" they write to me.
Where do people even find this stuff??? I show them Bitcoin. Recommend an exchange, and a wallet, and a strategy (think of Bitcoin like hard-money) and they come back...
"Yes Bitcoin is interesting but Titcoin it's interesting too"
I mean wtf
When will this Eternal-September end?
I have a maybe-not-so-crazy idea about this: Fuck The Bitcoin Standard; the @DarthCoin standard fixes this. It does because the guides are down to earth, stay away from any shitcoinery, and provide honest information.
So I think it's worth it to spend some time to work with Darth. If anything is missing from the guides maybe we can propose a draft to cover it. If something is outdated or can use clarification, we can submit a pull request and help out that way.
Honestly.. the solution could be right here, in your face, on SN.
