If you had somehow found yourself deep in macro/commodity/goldbug/outdated-photos land for a weekend, and could present basically anything to this type of audience, what would you present about?

Hypothetically speaking, if "bitcoin" is your answer, a more sufficient answer would be to suggest which *specific* aspects of bitcoin to appeal to them.

I've done a few conferences like this before and I tend to focus on freedom aspects. I'm like, "who here in the audience knows who Phil Zimmerman is? Basically nobody? Okay cool, let's talk about encryption and rights and the shenanigans he went through." And then I can move that into a global perspective. "Imagine you're in Argentina. What do you do for money? So, I know a new company called Fedi that seeks to help communities build their own private full-reserve banks. Want to hear about it?"

What would you emphasize here that would connect well?

I think I’d emphasize things that Bitcoin can do that gold/other commodities can’t. I’m sure almost everyone understands that you can send Bitcoin over the internet instead of requiring physical transportation, but how much do the goldbugs know about multisig?

Mitigating the risk of having a single physical location where your commodity has to sit at any given time might not even occur as something that’s possible to your average goldbug.
