The danger of “orange pilling” friends is that they’ll probably sell at a loss and then resent you for it

This is because is no orange pill, only the desire to learn more, and all you did was get them to stack with an insufficient understanding of why

The most “orange pilling” I have ever done with friends and family is to say now is a great time to look into it.

🙌 and offer to support them through any questions or problems right

And then cry alone at night as no questions or problems arise?

That’s about right!

Orange Pilling is cringe AF.

learn bitcoin or die 🤙🏽

buy Bitcoin ❌

Study Bitcoin ✅

If that’s the case then you didn’t orange-pill, you fiat-pilled

How many times have we heard ~“came for the gains, stayed for the freedom”?

Those were the curious ones who self-suppositoried 🍊💊 aka wanted to actually learn

It was my weed dealer. Told me to look up Andreas Antonopolous. Said he thinks it's something. Said he had some dash and a few other cryptos too. I bought $50 of sats.

He bought a camper and went off shortly after.

I did the work on my own. Seven years. I should see if I can find out how he is 🤔

"on my own" implies more credit than I deserve.

Others did the works. I went on an exploratory journey... To rephrase.

When someone is a “self-taught” musician, generally speaking they didn’t just pick up a guitar and figure everything out by touching and hearing alone

They sought the resources themselves and put in the work themselves

You did it on your own ✊

Dis how I sing too 🫂🫡🤘

Wish I was instrumentally inclined.

Does Andreas A. Anotonopoulus control a nostr npub? #asknostr

Got one who understands it but still has his sats on Exodus hot ass mobile wallet. I explained a few hardware signing devices, he settled for a trezor like a year ago... Still in the box.

That's more the fear of a new step. I don't think he's on the selling side yet. He's had it on that same hit wallet since 2021 🤣.

The other friend... He's the volatility.

to be a good teacher you need to cautiosly ispire, and then make people walking their path.

Everyone is ready when is ready and you can do so little to change that, risking also to get the opposite effect when forcing times IMO.

It’s hard to not talk about Bitcoin

Very true.

Even though I strongly encouraged my friends to learn and understand Bitcoin after I got them to buy some, they didn't.

They didn't own a lot of bitcoin, but more than most will ever hope for.

Two out of three sold.

Then one of them went into debt by $100,000 for a car.

Sometimes, you can't save people from themselves.

Ironic, of all things a car, instant depreciation.

Instant depreciation and just to add insult to injury, Elon slashed the price of that exact model by 30% a few months later.

100k in debt for a car is WILD

That's Canadian dollars, but still crazy.

Worst thing, there was nothing wrong with her old car.

When the real estate market crashes she'll probably be living in that vehicle.

But thank God. It's fully electric in an area of the country that regularly sees - 40 C for weeks on end and which also has very few charging stations.

Just don’t pill them the sell button!

I think it’s blurrier than it seems though. It’s quite easy to think, “well… if they buy some, they’ve got skin in the game, and that will send them down the rabbit hole!”

The orange pill isn't for everyone. Like nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp08we5fd said.. The door isn't wide enough for everyone.
