First of all, thanks for responding. My name is also Chris by the way, so I guess we have that in common. You're one of the few Twetchers that has a straightforward name and sticks with it, so I appreciate that, because it helps me remember who I'm talking to.
Just to summarize... it sounds like you would spend your last penny to tell us that Twetch is rekt and we're too early. That certainly may be true, but I think we're over-complicating things a bit. I don't know if you were around in 2016, but there was a platform called Open Bazaar, which was basically a P2P marketplace. I could buy all kinds of things from other Bitcoiners, and buyers could even choose from a list of escrow mediators before purchasing an item, in case there was a dispute. I guess I stopped using the platform around 2017, even though it existed until 2021 I think.
My point is, if such a marketplace could exist 8 years ago, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to recreate something comparable on Twetch, provided they can get the wallet syncing worked out.

I can tell you have a lot more technical knowledge than I have... so why not advertise that right up front in your bio or pinned post? I'm not saying everyone should reveal their exact location or entire life story, but what's the downside to listing what we have to offer the community? Do you have any hobbies or collections? Anything for sale? Important articles, books or videos that other Bitcoiners should watch? I also noticed your Twitter link doesn't appear to be active... which is a good thing, but maybe you could remove that from your bio so we aren't redirecting people to enemy territory? I don't want any of our identities or ability to connect dependent on Twetch servers, but the solution isn't to wait around for 10 years for Harry to figure out how to scale this thing. We can put the important info right at the top of our profiles, so that people have alternate methods of reaching each other when Twetch is rekt.
