Bitcoin isn’t for everyone. Coming to terms with that has been one of my hardest lessons in Bitcoin and perhaps in life.
“Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.”
— David Hume
People often argue that Bitcoin’s decentralised nature and open access make it universally appealing, but that assumes that everyone values the same things…financial independence, NGU, decentralisation for example. In reality, individual preferences and circumstances dictate whether Bitcoin—or anything, really—aligns with their needs or values.
Trying to make Bitcoin, or any product, “for everyone” can dilute its identity or purpose. Not everyone will find value in the same things, and in catering to everyone, the core principles that make something unique may get lost. It’s like trying to make an “everyone-approved” meal…you just end up with something bland. To me Bitcoin is anything but bland!
Bitcoin may be a great option for those seeking decentralization, but that doesn’t make it universally applicable or desirable. For some, traditional financial systems provide exactly what they need or want. Both perspectives can coexist without either being right or wrong—just different ways to engage with the world.
So I have come to understand that…Bitcoin is for anyone.
