An expansion of nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx 's driving a car / self-custody analogy based on my experience trying to orange pill my parents.

Boomers, Gen Xers and even older millennials have always lived in a world where NO ONE drives a car or even anything more powerful than a bicycle. They have been trained, and the market has been largely forced, into making sure that EVERYONE rides only busses and trains.

When they see people driving what they perceive to be Bitcoin Formula 1 cars, they are scared shitless. Never mind the fact that you are driving it yourself without a professional, highly regulated driver.

Bitcoin education is showing them that they aren't Formula 1 cars, they are Corollas, and with a little practice, some responsibility and humility, driving a car is actually really easy and convenient. And, showing them that the bus drivers they have been trusting their entire lives, are actually robbing them, drunk, and about to careen into a canyon.
