Being Open To Criticism
It can be difficult to field criticisms of Bitcoin. Sometimes people are being disingenuous, or they don't have a proper understanding of how Bitcoin works. But it is almost always worth hearing criticism out — even if it is easily disprovable, Bitcoiners should not be afraid of criticism.

🙉 The Messenger

In 2023, Bitcoiners Must Stop Shooting (Or Blocking) The Messengers                                         

In this opinion editorial, Heidi Porter encourages Bitcoiners to engage with constructive criticism in 2023 and to stop "shooting" or blocking messengers who present real criticisms of Bitcoin. 

She also reminds Bitcoiners to not believe their own criticisms are flawless, and to keep in mind that a key component to constructive criticism is knowledge about the subject your speaking about. 

Porter argues that it takes humble research, hard work and an effort at discourse to deal with the issues that are raised, and when addressed this way hopefully it will make for a happier year for more Bitcoiners, not just the few.

🔦 Mainstream Vs. Privacy

Mainstream Bitcoin Exchanges Have Obscured The Value Of Private, P2P Alternatives
