It's painful sometimes.
This: "It makes me sad that people I care about refuse to win. "
Having a convo with two neighbors, one just got 50K US in bitcoin and asked how to store it long-term (that's a win). The 2nd neighbor was 'why keep it in Bitcoin, sell it and get the cash.' SMH, I've tried for YEARS to orange pill the dude, he wouldv'e 5X'd minimum when I started with him (that's a loss).
Now I focus on the high school students and try to get them to understand this is a lifehack, a cheat code of sorts. It's an uphill battle to break the tradfi fiat garbage floating in their heads.
