Today I went to a women’s networking event here in Germany .

I was genuinely excited. I love the energy when women come together. 💜

But after a year in Bitcoin, I guess I forgot what fiat-world conversations feel like.

Here’s what I “learned” over dinner:

- Apparently, I’m making the rich richer.

- Taxes are great! THEY protect us.

- And yeah… please stop talking about the pandemic. We’ve moved on.

They laughed at my blue light blockers.

I didn’t laugh. I made my point. Then I left.

I’ve only been in this space for a year.

No clue how the Bitcoin OGs have been doing this for so long.

Mad respect. 🧡

Oh wow. That sounds painful.

Yes, it kind of was.

It’s lonely being a bitcoiner but Nostr helps… and orange pilling your friends! 😉

its very hard but after a few years you simply ignore the noise. almost broke with fam. members because of their mindset.

always remember you can’t save and convince them all.

they pay the price they deserve. so may it be!

may it be... I'm just very excited and think people... look

Welcome to the resistance. lol

😆 I feel you

Being surrounded by Fiat women is hard to handle.

It’s hard to be quiet in that groups

At the end you need we live in that world

I am on my way creating my own environment, where I can choose the people around me

I'm also new. What Iearnd to say:

HFSP

It is so hard. I mean I was probably more or less the same but that narrow minds ufff challenging.

Making the rich richer 😂 do they even know where their taxes really go?

Show em this

Well at that point I was just speechless

Bookmark this message and revisit it again in five years.

Now you know, you can’t unsee it.

“… exposure to true information does not matter anymore… A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures…”

Haha, you eventually learn to pick your moments and not bother talking about it with the wrong people. Don't throw your pearls to swine.

I just couldn't be quiet and pretend to agree with what they said haha

Bitcoin is not an intelligence test. Bitcoin is an ego test. It also has something to do with fear of knowledge. You can see this very clearly in the reaction to the corona measures issue that you experienced there..

Ego test is a great phrase. Yes, the covid topic was when shit hit the fan. Incredible trying to silence me.

A topic you can spend nights discussing, but usually only in your own bubble. As soon as I hear, "But Bergamo..." I usually know it's going to be a short conversation.

I've always felt the same way. But there comes a time when you realize your energy is better spent sharing your knowledge and opinions with people who can listen, rather than trying to convince those who won't listen.

I define this as Bitcoiners Zen mode. It's 100% conviction with no need to convince others.

Hope you did a dramatic exit yelling “Have fun staying poor!”

No, staying humple here

🤔❤️

The Normies are not ready

Things I've learned about socializing after becoming a Bitcoiner:

I only have a few sats that I bought at the automat, do you want some?

Don't talk about sports with finance groups, don't talk about finance with creative groups, don't talk about gossip with creative groups, etc.

The only place I feel at home is in the Bitcoin space.

Yes, that’s very true! 🫂

Another awareness I have gained is that many people are very afraid of becoming an outcast of society. This makes them pretend to be asleep to what is happening since they can't stand the thought of not being included in their groups.

das mehrwert-barometer verschiebt sich für dich. feeling zu beginn: weird aber gut :)

Taxes protect us about as much as the fences leading to the slaughterhouse protect the cows.

It's not hard to imagine why the collaborators with the covid regimes are so eager to 'move on'. I haven't and I won't (for the distress and damage it cause to my kids).

Thank you and neither do I! I keep pushing to talk about this and will not stop!

This is why I won’t be sad when normie’s money goes to zero in what will probably feel like it has happened overnight.

people who want to 'move on' obviously didn't learn a single thing

Yes, that was the final moment I left the conversation

1000%

Bless your heart for trying
