    @cherapple thanks for noticing - I should probaby try to not repeat words as much. Yes, as @rotalumis said I meant to refer to the average Joe, not the VCs or others mentioned. Seems I used mainstream only once, and probably could have worked it in again. I think you're right though, in some parts it could have been reworded to say mainstream - as in what it looks like to my Mom. Use your best judgement :)

    @mdw It sounds like you meant "the mainstream" throughout, then. You don't mention venture capitalists until the end, and investing isn't the focus of your article, which is about the general bitcoin community. Your final conclusion talks about Bitcoin becoming "mainstream." You only used the phrase "Main Street" three times, but one instance appeared in a heading. I changed all of them. How does that sound to you?

    @cherapple it's fine. I feel like that heading really needs to say "View from Main Street" though, as in how it looks from any generic place.

    I suppose the other 2 places matter less, in fact in the beginning of "Enter the Entrepreneurs" in that first paragraph, "mainstream" surely fits better than the "main street" that I wrote.

    And thank you for the help!

    @mdw I sympathize with what you are trying to accomplish with the heading, but it becomes a bit of a mixed metaphor. Also, a phrase mentioned in a heading needs to be thoroughly explained in the body, and fit within the broader focus of the post.

    Glad to be of help, and thanks for the appreciation!

    Mainstream works just fine @cherapple.

    @dhimmel @ItsAboutSharing, unfortunately, your submission (#489) does not meet the quality standards of the LTB network due to its vague, speculative, accusatory, and unclear nature. The post has been scheduled for deletion which will occur on July 31st, so make sure to copy your article if you would like to retain it.

    But the spelling was ok?

    Hello. Any chance I can get the "BitCoin"s changed to "Bitcoin"s in my most recent article. Sorry about the mistake! Can I do this edit myself?

    Not sure how we missed that! Updated the table too as requested.

    And to answer your question, writers can't make changes to published articles themselves.
