It can be difficult sometimes to sit with loved ones who tell me they are suffering due to fiat pressures, their health, or other fiat-related problems.

While they are ready to openly share their struggles, they naturally seek answers from 'experts' trained by the very system designed to keep them trapped. I get why, a few years ago, I did the same.

They tell me they are "too tired" or "don't have time" to find root causes or learn about their problems on a deeper level; which I completely understand—the system is designed that way.

While my mind consciously knows everyone has their unique path on their own timeline, and that you cannot 'force others to awaken,' my heart heart still struggles sometimes with what feels like 'leaving them behind.'

I keep getting reminded that I just need to be a supporting presence in their lives; that letting go is an act of love. So my reminder to self is to trust that everything unfolds on its own time, to enjoy what I have found through Bitcoin, and to be the change.

I feel this too— are we obligated to shout from the rooftops like crazy people? How can you not when you know your loved ones and fellow humans are unaware of the atrocities of fiat? I’ve tried orange pilling the people around me and am continually met with resistance, mockery, sympathy, and concern. The only solace I can find is in the solidity of bitcoin itself. Slow. Steady. Quiet. Incremental growth. Tick tock. Proof of work. No debasement. No marketing. Just mathematical truth. And each block strengthens the system. Each block strengthens my conviction. All I can do is lead by example. Oration is not one of my super powers. But tenacity just might be.

I feel this deeply. It is very difficult. It can be a lonely journey as well.

sometimes we just be a representative of 'what works' and sometimes we just pray for them.

I feel like the guy in this scene from They Live, brilliant film, I bet you feel the same.

He is trying to get his friend to "see" by putting on the glasses. Very very long fight scene. Its not a matter of - if - but *when* they decide to give it a chance and see. Once you see, you can't un-see.
