About the Bitcoin General category

Bitcoin discussion that is not narrowly technical: adoption, custody practice, monetary properties, culture, and the trade-offs behind how people actually use it.

Good threads here take a position and support it. Long-running debates about block space, self-custody and privacy are welcome when they add something beyond restating a side.

Newcomer questions about how Bitcoin works are fine here, and get better answers than in the specialist subcategories.

Wallet and node troubleshooting belongs in Wallets, Nodes & Technical Support; consensus change proposals belong in Protocol & Development.
