50 sats \ 6 replies \ @DarthCoin 9h \ on: AMA I’m the only girl that works on stacker news mostly_harmless
Ohhh I missed this AMA post! I have muted this territory, for too much noise and distract me and didn't saw this post in my regular feed.
Questions:
  1. When you heard first time about Bitcoin, did you find it hard to understand how it works ? In general, not in deep technical details.
  2. Did you had somebody else helping you to learn more about Bitcoin or mostly you did it yourself reading documents and stuff?
  3. Do you really think Bitcoin will win?
  4. Do you like the Star Wars saga?

thank you, great Qs let’s get into it
  1. I did find it hard to understand. I had it give up a lot of flaky, misguided concepts. I have never encountered something like bitcoin, or anything that made me think critically about the monetary system.
  2. I did have someone help me - @bitcoinplebdev is great at explaining things. I went to podcasts to learn a lot, dipped into the academic research on bitcoin but found it lacking. Then I was able to meet a lot of bitcoiners too and go to meetups and stuff like that.
  3. Yep, completely
  4. not particularly, but I’ve seen the movies. Should I read the books?

Should I read the books?
Not really necessary, those are kind of separate stories, like a bit of expansion of little parts of the SW world.
I ask it more to see if you are familiar with it.
How do you find now Bitcoin? Is it still hard to understand, even new concepts that are coming almost every day?

Yeah definitely still hard to grasp at times. It sits squarely in a domain that I have no connection to. But I get to be around people arguing about the minutia of bitcoin all the time and through this I am able to get in touch with the issues at the core

Ok here another question, non-bitcoin related. Let's make it more interesting.
Can you describe this scene in just few words / phrases ?
