Me: “Do you want life to get less expensive over time and quality to improve?”

Normie: “Is this a trick question?”

Me: “No.”

Normie: “Uhh… of course I do.”

Me: “Then save in #Bitcoin.”

Normie: “How much bitcoin should I buy?”

Me: “It depends. How much of your life expenses would you like to get cheaper over time? And how much would you like the quality of your life to improve?”

Normie: “Uhh… all of it?”

Me: “Then there’s your answer.”

Normie: “This sounds too good to be true. I’m going to stick with cash in the bank.”

Me: “It’s your decision. Call me when you’re ready to get ahead, instead of always falling behind.”

Normie: “Lol… okay.”

Me: “Lol.”

What's crazy is that you're 100% right and this is extremely logical but normies are so conditioned to think inflation is normal, fiat is good, Bitcoin is for criminals etc. that they think you're crazy.

Yep.

I’ve had some variation of this conversation hundreds of times over the years, including with small business owners.

Almost everyone thinks I’m crazy initially but, inevitably, they reach out at or near bull markets peaks. 😂

If nothing else it's a surefire way to live in their minds forever.

My last VP of risk took me seriously and sold a house last bear market for BTC. Last CFO thought I was crazy. Neither one will forget our conversations 😁

Bitcoin is like faith in god. It seems too good to be true. It can’t be that easy.🎄✝️ #bitcoin

Agreed.

As a Christian, I think about these parallels all the time.

Except, Bitcoin is real. Don't trust, Verify!

He who laughs last, laughs best

🤣🤣

😂

The gov school system has done it’s job

Always disappointed to have this conversation. I wish to see more curiosity among my friends and fam.

Part of me is convinced that those with the most conviction jumped in already in the past cycles. Most normies from now on are gonna get shaken out from the price dips, I pray I’m wrong

Biggest bitcoiner there is right here 🖐️

Doesn’t the short term volatility make it hard to use at this stage as a means to pay bills? Since bills aren’t priced in Btc.

Best savings technology ever to exist. But at this stage in its development, I don’t think most people should dump all of their money in it.

Thoughts?

How can you be sure of anything in this world? Conviction for yourself is OK but why do you worry convincing others? Let them find out...I guess, this what happened to all of us.

The answer is right in front of them. Good on you for trying to help people nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l I heard something recently - “if I tried to tell you about bitcoin, it’s because I love you”.

I started showing people my first 10 Amazon purchases after the 2020 shutdowns. It’s a milestone most can vividly recall.

The list? Not exactly life-changing: new boxers, a beach chair for that vacation we swore would happen, 100 disposable masks, guitar wall hangers, you get the idea.

People’s heads explode when I weigh what I spent on those against what the same amount in Bitcoin would be worth today.

I’m batting 100% with orange-pilling since I’ve started sharing the doc with people.

I don't mean to killjoy on this point, but if we're honest, Bitcoin only rose 425% in 8 years if you measure it from the 2017 peak. Therefore, where one buys it matters matters a lot when it comes to your point. But generally speaking, if BTC really was the bulwark against inflation it's claimed to be, why isn't the price 500k now? We've had so much inflation over the last 5 years, that it's out of control, yet BTC barely trickles up except for the blow-off periods, but even those are not that crazy if one measures from the last peak. The SPY rose almost 200% in the same period. Considering that BTC is a new asset with far lower liquidity, why hasn't it risen 10 or 20x more than the SPY over that time? Food for thought. I know BTCers aren't allowed to talk about this stuff, but it's right there.
