I believe I orange pilled a new friend tonight. When he asked me to explain Bitcoin, the first question I asked him if he was a Republican or Democrat. Depending on his answer to this question was how I planned on framing my responses to his question. While Bitcoin is not political, humans can be.

If he was a Republican: I'd frame explaining Bitcoin around inflation, taxes, separation of money and state, and digital scarcity.

If he was a Democrat: I'd frame my responses around financial inclusion and hope for billions around the world while touching on building a better society with a better monetary system.

If he said neither: Then it's a mixture of both.

That’s interesting. I’m not in either party, but I think the inclusion argument would be much more persuasive to me, just because of the history of abuse and exclusion delivered through the banking system and its regulators.

I believe that the different starting points lead to the same final path. It's about finding a way to reach someone and a lot of time that is trying to understand where they're coming from by asking the right questions and then listening to their responses.
