Manny is already up to around 25,000 sats! He just messaged me asking what to do with it next…that’s where the real work begins.

What should we tell him first?

Give back!!

Hookers & Blow.

Tell him to download Damus or Amethyst and link it to Nostr and start having some fun here

Install BlueWallet.io , start DCA (using Strike or Swan) small amounts every paycheck and read The #Bitcoin Standard.

All on black

Lightning Roulette! 🤣

I’ve lost many a good sat that way.

For one thing, suggest he gets a free PDF of my very-easy-to-read book at https://thesimplestbitcoinbook.net 🧡

HODL

Make sure he’s ready before zapping all his sats away

Stay humble

Muun wallet & back up, then send 20K there over LN

Probably too complicated for a first-timer.

Fair point - especially since Muun’s backup is pretty unconventional.

Maybe just explain the concept of self custody and tell him if he builds up a stack or wants to buy any then you’d be able to talk him through next steps

Ask him how much of a reader he is? If he doesn't mind sitting down with a book then direct him to, or just gift him, a copy of either Bitcoin Evangelism, Bitcoin: Hard Money You Can't Fuck With, or both a copy of The Bitcoin and The Fiat Standard.

Also, direct him to #[2] YT channel for a shit ton of easy to follow tutorials.

But before that, explain to him the concept of "not your keys, not your coins".

Use it here on Nostr, use it on Stacker News, use it on podcasts, buy tshirt at lightning store, use it to pay someone that uses CashApp (or actual lightning wallets), donate to cause in Geyser, zap it to a random person on the opposite side of the planet...

Use those sats to make the world better based on what he perceives as a better world!

Educate. But you can let him know that with Bitcoin Co app he can buy virtual gift cards or prepaid Visa cards with no KYC (hopefully he doesn’t, but it’s nice to know it’s possible)

Transfer it to you, then back, or to himself with another wallet. Then donate it to a charity that accepts Bitcoin! 🧡

Lighting address: hrf@btcpay.hrf.org

Teach him about self-custody, set him up with a wallet and DCA there 💜

He told me he already got one of his friends to download WoS and I’m working on getting her ⚡️ address. 😁

Plebchain IRL

Show him how to use it in real world. Like how to buy gift card with Bitrefill.

Normies need to see the use case in order to stop the “internet money” paradigms
