Yeah, I'm a big Arnold Kling 3 languages of politics fan. Can bitcoin be framed in these 3 languages so that it isn't a threat to the different world views?

It seems we have the libertarian freedom vs. coersion lens covered and probably why more R's are on board.

We could improve the civilization vs. barbarism lens by being less antagonistic to institutions. I think the AARP angle fits here.

Then how do we frame bitcoin as on the side of the oppressed vs. the oppressor? I guess framing bitcoin in a can't be evil way that isn't racist, sexist, etc. And environmental discussions are already ongoing.

Keep up the great work, you're definitely on the right track in gaining support.

Just checked out a circular economy in a remote area Peru and scarves, etc from artisans speaking Kichwa only via Galoy.

The artisans are pretty stoked on bitcoin. Dubbed them bitcoin maestras and they lit up.

Stories like this help so brought some scarves to DC and the co-founder of www.Motiv.ngo is coming out to share what they’re doing in S America on the Hill the next couple of days.

Things like this help. Stories are more memorable. And our excitement / optimism is contagious. That feeling when shared is invaluable.

This is great. I hope these stories will help connect to them why they should support bitcoin. I do think cynically though that politicians need an electoral reason to support or oppose something.

I think framing USD imperialism as an oppressive force could work to sow confusion in the progressives going all in on MMM.

Would be curious how you think is best to frame it? Always A/B testing talking points & reading the room.

Yeah, I think a lot of it is code switching. Words like imperialism, colonizing, eurocentrism seem to hold connotations that will perk up their ears. They don't want to hear nice stories, but terrible stories of oppression and how they can save the day by getting behind your issue.

Just my 2 sats.

These circular economies in rural areas are enabling women to lift themselves out of poverty and not have to participate in sex trafficking and be able to avoid colonization / preserve their culture / traditions. Even impacting addiction to alcohol in these areas. Truly wild to see irl. Very grateful to groups like Motiv. Not easy to teach people how to fish vs just come in as a savior for a moment in time.
