I agree with you for the most part but even if we got that slogan going, people would bash it. They did that during the bear market when bitcoin was down and inflation was high. There is no slogan that can substitute for the time someone has to put in to learn this stuff. The problem is not the slogan. The people is that the people are retarded.

This is very wise.
Spreading awareness should be the goal - we still havenāt reached full saturation of people who would instinctively get Bitcoin knowing what it is
I really like saifedeanās view. He doesnāt think advocating for bitcoin is practical. People follow their own self interests. The real awareness comes when NGU. Thatās how I got in and started learning. And thatās why we all say that you get bitcoin at the price you deserve š«”š¤
I agree - but the nuance is that people need to understand their options in order to discover what is in their best interest
I am fortunate to have not needed multiple touch points in order to go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole - but I never even knew it existed until late 2020
Maybe I was living under a rock, but in most circles Bitcoin is still essentially non-existent
It was only through a chance encounter with a friend that I even came across ācryptocurrencyā and within a year I was a full maximalist
The point of spreading Bitcoin āawarenessā is to create touch points for people who otherwise would be interested but havenāt given it a second of thought
I had a similar experience but donāt belittle yourself. YOU did the work. Your friend can introduce you to it but he canāt make you listen to the podcast, read, and think about it. He canāt upload the knowledge from his brain into yours. And unfortunately, that curiosity that drove you to make your life better doesnāt exist in most people. Iāve been a bitcoin maxi for nearly 2 years now and I havenāt been able to orange pill anyone. No one cared to learn or ask questions until this recent pump. Even still, they are not trying to understand it.
Itās definitely frustrating, but donāt give up hope. Iāve had mixed results but there are definitely lots of people out there who are also curious and capable.
Thanks for the positivity - youāre right, itās a very personal thing which requires an individual to do the work. Those who have heard but ignored will be back at higher prices.
With that said though, everyone does get the price they deserve š«” part of this is personal cope because I wish I had been exposed to Bitcoin content earlier š¤£
It's never too late.
And it's earlier now than ever will be
Same bro! lol but I heard about bitcoin in 2017 and I ignored it. Then I saw it pumping in 2021 and thought it was too late. In 2022 it crashed after Tesla stopped taking it as payment and I thought it was dead. But it came back and thatās when I started to take it seriously.
I first heard about it in late 2020 from that friend, but I donāt consider myself āorange-pilledā until I watched the nostr:npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y videos with Ioni Appleberg at the very top in 2021.
I take pride in riding all the way down from 69k - there is a maximum of single digit millions of people who can say that.
Everyone needs that first exposure though, and if it comes from a sticker saying Vote for Better Money, so be it! ā”ļø
