What are the smallest, easiest thing we can do to support Bitcoin and lightning?

I have been in this community for 5 years now, this is my second reddit account. I have kept some funds on exchange, self custody wallets, etc. Having Bitcoin is cool but nothing came close to what I felt a few days ago when I tested lightning.

Lightning has come a long way, from “complicated tech, not for noobs” (set up your own node, open channels) to “get a self custody app and get going in 30 seconds”. To my surprise, I didn’t even need to register a username nor email address to have a Swiss bank account in my phone. It blew my mind how easy lightning has become.

Within 30 minutes and a few conversations on Reddit, I managed to use my lightning wallet (Muun Wallet app) to send a few cents to 7 people in 4 continents, free, at the speed of light. I don’t even know who they are, I sent them satoshis, they send some back. It just worked.

Now, with that excitement I continued the experiment with a few of my friends, I sensed a lot of hesitations:

  • What’s a satoshi? It’s sounds foreign and scary!
  • I read in Guardians and Reuters today, most people in El Salvador don’t want Bitcoin, they don’t understand it, it’s too complicated
  • I read that it’s super bad for the environment, using tons of energy for no application at all yada yada

I was surprised at their reactions until I searched on Google for myself and saw the MASSIVE FUDS attack at El Salvador and Bitcoin in traditional media. I couldn’t help but wonder: “What are the smallest, easiest thing we can do to support Bitcoin and lightning, so more people can experience the wonder of owning a Swiss bank in their cell phone for the first time and understand Bitcoin’s current and future potential to change the world?”
