Copying from above: Lots of things. We can be at most half of the circle - there also needs to be ways for people to get "coins to spend". Marketing wise it's challenging because the freedomy arguments of using your own wallet and all of that gets drowned out by all the speculative stuff in the crypto space. In bitcoin the speculative stuff is just "hodl" or leverage, in broader crypto it's "shitcoins, defi, yield" and so on. We don't offer customers a way to get rich. So during bull markets it's hard for us to get attention outside of all the places where "you can get rich here", during bear markets customers are poorer so spend a bit less. That said we've weathered the current decline with only a minor drop in volumes, and are still firmly above break-even.

It's a great community with lots of people optimistic for building a better world

In the past few years thought leadership moved from "builders" to "talkers", and narratives in the space end up really limited to just "things that make you bullish" and stuff like that. I wish there was more focus on building the future, we've had enough "macro-economic analysis about why bitcoin is a good investment"

That remains to be seen. The history of the world has a lot of examples where one tech wins over the other for reasons other than technical. Stablecoins really killed bitcoin maximalism, and there are tons of stuff that the ethereum community is actually doing better than the bitcoin one - the main such thing is simply use of wallets. Also I think that a bitcoin world will be a world in which people create tokens, not least that which we today call "unregistered securities". The goal should not be to call every token other than bitcoin a shitcoin, but rather focusing the energy on calling out the projects that are scamming their investors (which today is the vast majority of them, but it's already not 100%)
