Found this “rant” to be very inspiring by @jessepollak .  Has all the right points, I started skeptic, grew in belief, then landed with f-yeah, let’s get it. 

I now believe the issue is that we are calling it “coin” and people’s biases are quickly called up because money in society is such a taboo thing, not realizing how we speak of things is so closely tied to our relationship with money. 

Jesse, my small thought may be that you are 99% correct in your target and 1% off in your words. Maybe we need to replace “coin” with something more aligned in cultural relevance. 

idk the answer, but I think that really may be the problem.

This is so retarded it like inspires me to leave crypto. It’s like the opposite of a 2019 vitalik blog https://t.co/OuWCxQRie8

living in my era of unknowns, "world builder"

we just need to renorm coin - we are close :)

disagree with “we are close”. From where you, and even I sit, I’d say yeah we may be close. 

But when I talk to people, we are very far. 

I think renorming “coin” is certainly a way but it’s going to be the least efficient path, or one of the least. 

it’s asking to remove someone’s priors. Idk about you, but I’m very opened minded and sometimes deeply stubborn, and if that’s me open minded, idk what to say about the majority which live in closed loops. 

I think we need to meet them where they are, then we can rebrand into a new norm.
