0 sats \ 5 replies \ @jgbtc 7h \ on: IMF and El Salvador bitcoin
It's unfortunate that the people of El Salvador didn't embrace bitcoin more. I keep hearing adoption is very low because people either are too poor to save anything in bitcoin, or are just uninterested. Either way, an incredible opportunity was missed. If widespread adoption occurred and a significant percentage of the population had stacked, the current situation would be very different.

What do you mean "too poor"? Bitcoin should be usable by both the rich and the poor.

depends
if you are extremely poor (making single digit $) per week , you won't be able to afford btc(or open your own LN channels) due on chain tx fees and small UXTOs.
you will be forced to use custodials

Well, this is a failure of bitcoin then unfortunately. But if bitcoin can't handle this case, you can still can use custodians as you said.
I wrote somewhere something vaguely related that it is that base routing fees make sending very small number of sats too expensive, but I was immediately attacked for, quote, "missing the plot". Go figure.

Bitcoin adoption will never come from a gov declaring it "legal tender". That's a total bullshit.
As i always said:
What does it means that? A sovereign individual is responsible for its own actions and do not let anybody to govern him.
When people will fucking understand this simple fact, then we can talk about adoption. Until then is just bulshitism.
All these Bukeles, Mileis, and Trumps are just politician liars. People should stop giving them attention and stop being fucking slaves. You don't need any gov to tell you what you should use as money. You use what you want and fuck'em'all.
