When I mention #Bitcoin to like minded millennials, trying to live a free disconnect life from corpo tech, I get the auto response, I don't know anything about computers
Discussion
I get the “oh you’re into crypto” response
No, I’m just investing in a great asset
It's frustrating, but then I remember a time when I was just as dumb
My embarrassing story is that I got into Ether before I got into #bitcoin. I wrote a book in 2021 and started accepting payments in crypto back then so got a .eth address for crypto payments. It’s only when I joined #nostr that I realized there is no second best
I get that too, but I tell them I use the math of public key cryptography tp participate in a parallel economy that has no inflation, Bitcoin: A protocol Erik Cason calls a commonwealth on the Internet...Not casino coins.
I don’t even do that! I just tell people that it’s advanced peer-to-peer technology that I’m betting on to keep getting more valuable
Mother fuckers we’re born into technology and don’t need understand they use it all day everyday and can’t google their way out of a paper bag
People want you to just give it to them, they don't understand, it takes real work to understand bitcoin
