I’m trying to never go back to the other place, but the thing I miss is that there was always a lively conversation going on somewhere. On lemmy, it seems people don’t want to just have a conversation-it’s either serious or techy- I’m looking for light conversations?

Does this happen anywhere on lemmy where responses to your comments come sooner than a day, and people are just sort of in the ‘lobby’ chatting?

    I believe it will be ubiquitous, but happening in the background. People won’t be like, “hey what’s your bitcoin address dude, I want to send you .000000054”. It will be more like the sauce that powers a payment app like Venmo, but hidden in the background, making settlement cheap for the provider. The Strike app already does similar, and if a big cc company sees the light and tries using crypto settlements to square accounts, they will save billions on settlement charges. THAT’S where it will be used by everyone, they just won’t know they are using it

        So the /r/bitcoin sub was decent. The /r/cryptocurrency sub went very toxic. I would put a lot of effort into it here if there were even a budding bitcoin community here, but it’s all crickets. I want to help educate people that bitcoin is both more and not what they think

          Well more power to ya. I hope the community gets bigger for that. I’ve pretty much wrote it off at this point, for my personal use I mean. I still try to keep an eye on what’s going on, but I’m just not interested anymore until something big happens.
