Reason #5837278 why I like Bitcoin:

It allows me to donate directly to worthy causes and help improve the lives of those in need without having to doxx my information or sign up for junk mail. No middle man, no salaries or expense reimbursements, no bullshit virtue games. Just straight up humans helping humans.

True story: besides my job I am a teacher at College level, and I have been orange pilling for the last 6 years to students, family and friends.

None of my students (between late 20's and early 40's) have shown interest. I have one friend who I managed to drag to BTC with success and, within the family, just one member, nothing exciting.

On the other hand, I go to a supermarket where there is this guy from Nigeria in the front door always helping out in exhange of some cash. I knew that Nigeria was one of the countries in the world with more exposure to crypto so i asked him. He had never done anything like that but he wanted to learn. It took me 60 minutes to explain him the basics, install Phoenix wallet in his phone and tip him with 20€ worth of sats. He was genuinely happy. On top, i did it before the last bull run so he saw the capital increasing. Now he is saving money for his family in Nigeria in SATS.

There is a common saying among BTC peers: "anyone buys BTC at the price he/she deserves". It is a very harsh statement but is 100% correct. I have seen it with my own eyes. 👁️⚡️👁️

Preach!

Keep up the good work! Even if it seems your students have not seemed to show interest, you have planted a seed. It takes many seeds to grow a garden.

I agree that people find bitcoin at the price they deserve. But also, we must meet people where they are. Some people simply aren't at a place where they are ready to open their eyes to the harsh reality of the financial world and you must approach the topic of bitcoin at a level where they can understand and relate to in their current lives.

You're doing great work and we should all continue to be doing our part to improve the world through bitcoin!

100% - Bitcoin selectively reveals itself.

I'm beginning think that is part of a larger intention behind Bitcoin.
