In regards to the Saylor video, I think my takeaway is that WE need to step up.
Bitcoin (on-chain) can’t scale to everyone. That’s the fact.
What we can do is continue to build protocols on top of Bitcoin. I think fedimint is the way (personally). I will take it upon myself to set up a fedimint with my family / friends and for my family / friends. It’s a compromise between self custody and 3rd party custody, but the benefits are substantial.

Beware of “verified” accounts on here. Literally all it means is you’re able to control the website at whatever domain to a degree. It’d be pretty easy to get a domain close to whatever you want to impersonate and look similar on nostr.
