What is the greatest barrier for noobs trying to enter bitcoin?

Personally, I think it's @DarthCoin

His guides would be super useful to noobs, but the grammar sucks and stops any noob from reading past the first paragraph. He does not take criticism well on this fact, either.

His replies to noobs are really mean too, and he calls people names like "pathetic shitcoiners" even when they are clearly only interested in bitcoin. Generally, his comments seem to have a mean/unpleasant edge to them and make the space a more negative place.

So, what do you think is the greatest hurdle for new bitcoiners entering the space? Discuss.

lmao you two

I personally think it's that they don't get the need for a hard money or decentralization. It is hard to communicate these theoretical concepts to someone when they do not feel acute pain.

My "toxicity" is for a reason, to have a good end: to keep away all the shitcoinery from the noobs.

I've been in this for longer than you can imagine and I know how a shitcoiner think, act, persuade, manipulate and troll.

My toxicity is the antidote for those who are bitten by shitcoinism. I can detect a shitcoiner, just by the way is talking and about what is talking.

I always call out shitcoiner when I "detect" them and I always will do that. It is my duty as an old bitcoiner to protect all the ones that can fall into shitcoinism trap.

I don't need you to read my guides. Those guides are NOT for you. Those are written specifically for the hundreds of my subscribers that are always sending me questions and ask me about writing a specific guide that they need it. Later I use them just to guide others in need.

I don't make money with them, I just did them to pass my accumulated knowledge in all these years. I don't need money, I have enough BTC to live off them.

I am retired on my BTC and I have a lot of time now to educate noobs and guide them not to fall into shitcoinery. You have no idea with how many people I talk every fucking day, all day long. SN is just a small part I do for fun.

Only in the last 3 years I onboarded hundreds, if not thousand of new users into Bitcoin. What did you do for Bitcoin? Just bitching around against me? You are only shitposting here and do not bring any good content. NONE.

So please leave me alone and move along. You are a disgusting shitcoiner.

People don't getting that it's not how you present a message but what is the message.

He may be a very mean person and it sucks but it doesn't mean he's wrong.

But I have to admit, you kind of said the same yourself:

His guides would be super useful to noobs,

but the rest does not really matter:

but the grammar sucks and stops any noob from reading past the first paragraph.

Nooo, I want my sats back. I tipped because of the title and was expecting something else.

I got scammed!

Or actually, no. This taught me a very important but cheap lesson, haha

Bitcoin is Everything You Don’t Understand about Money, Combined with Everything You Don’t Understand about Computers.

I really don't want to get in the habit of use the new "Flag" feature as a substitute for the absent downvote capability, but I see it is seems an effective pesticide. When trolls don't get the attention anymore (due to their posts becoming "outlawed"), ... they leave.
