How Improving The UI And UX Of Bitcoin Nodes Could Benefit Everyone
By Ram Lets face it, the user interface of Bitcoin nodes are not even close to being ready for hyperbitcoinization. Even though expensive hardware is not required and it is extremely easy to set up a validation node, the vast majority of Bitcoiners do not run a validation node.
The modern world is used to simple and easy to use interfaces, so the perceived simplicity of Bitcoin nodes is extremely important when it comes to attracting new people. If you don’t believe it, try to convince a Mac user to use a Linux OS. While their uses might be very similar, people's experience won’t let them see that. After all, Apple got where it is today by relentlessly focusing on user interface and experience.
UI and UX are extremely important for mass adoption and in the case of Bitcoin, also for decentralization. Installing Bitcoin Core should feel like installing a chrome extension or even simpler. |

You Can Believe The Maximalist: Bitcoin Is Separate From Crypto
By Stephan Livera A fee days ago, Jemima Kelly, columnist at The Financial Times published a controversial article title “Don’t Believe The ‘Maximalists: Bitcoin Can’t Be Separated From Crypto." Kelly argues that Bitcoin is just one more of the thousands of cryptocurrencies out there, and that in reality it does not have anything special and that it just has the temporary first-mover advantage. According to Kelly, some specific altcoins are actually better than Bitcoin due to some features.
The sad truth is that the arguments presented by Jemima Kelly only demonstrate that she has not done the research required to talk or write about crypto, and much less about Bitcoin. Unfortunately, due to her lack of research she has presented a misleading article that will not only directly financially damage the unwary but also, it indirectly helps those who stand against Bitcoin and against a better and freer world. |

Forget Sacrificing For The Greater Good, Self-Responsibility Is The Way To A Better Society
By Mickey Koss Living in a society with a motto "For the greater good," is what we have gotten accustomed to, but it's often dangerous and can be immoral. When subjective values are a method of enforcing objective measures on society, it opens up its way towards anti-freedom and anti-individual ideals.
Unfortunately this is the way our Keynesians governments are managed, where a mandate could rip thousands of jobs from people, due to an "emergency new measure." But it doesn't have to be like this since we now have Bitcoin.
The journey to adopting Bitcoin as the standard, leads its participants to radical self-responsibility which cuts ties from the central control of the so-called experts who do not have your best interests at heart. |
