Whether it’s SN, Reddit, bitcoin magazine, unchained (gradually then suddenly series), podcasts (Guy Swann, Robert Breedlove, etc), the wealth of good information regarding BTC will only help drive adoption.
There’s so much FUD in mainstream media. These alternatives will only, in a matter of time, take over the FUD and spread like wildfire. We must continue to do our part by sharing on social media, telling our friends and loved ones, etc. BTC is a grassroots revolution!!
What seems to be needed are more intermediate Bitcoin resources. There are a lot of personalities who will mention Bitcoin and that might spark an interest and there are a lot of great resources for people who have thrown themselves into the Bitcoin world. However, it is a bit daunting getting from the former to the later.
This is one of the reasons I love Fountain and hope SN will broaden it's content. It's also why I try to support new projects that will have appeal beyond those who are already all in on Bitcoin.

I agree, but I think any given person has different intermediate needs. Most of us needed to hear roughly the same stuff to 'get it.' But the journey after that is pretty personal and you have to put in a lot of effort to find the resources that you need.
When you're really deep, while there aren't a bunch of resources, you at least know what you're looking for a little better.

I know some of us hate AI, but I kind of think an AI chat system for helping get people through the intermediate stage and find what they need would be ideal.

Absolutely, that's why I try to help new on-ramp ideas, whether they really speak to me or not.

I really like BTC Magazine's build quality. They use a really nice thick, not-shitty paper that reminds me of more of graphic novels of yesteryear.
Don't forget that [Mainstream Media] is made "main-stream" precisely because of who owns it. They decide what goes into the stream and what doesn't, and naturally, they're not bitcoin fans.
