Orange-pilling someone is like performing bloodless brain surgery while the person is awake. You have to reach in and adjust paradigms they've believed in for decades, remove false beliefs they cling to, and kill sacred cows they will fight to defend even though they don't even know why they are defending them.

It's a lot like trying to get someone who's been vegan for decades to try a carnivore diet. The best strategy I've found is to just say, "try it for 90 days". This bypasses all of the philosophy, religion & false-beliefs, and trusts the underlying physiology and biochemistry.

I wonder if a similar strategy for orange-pilling new people would be as follows:

When someone asks any type of question about BTC, answer with, "Let me see your phone." Then quickly download/set up Strike, and buy them $5 worth of BTC. Then calmly hand back the phone and say, "You now own some BTC, you should learn more about it!"

Then stoically walk away...

Thoughts?

Sadly, most people don’t value something just given to them if they don’t know what it is or why it is valuable. I’ve gifted small amounts over the years and most of the Bitcoin was lost. Perhaps it is a bit safer if you use Strike or CashApp, but I bet most will just sell it for cash and move on.
