Honestly, at this point, I don’t know how to reach people anymore. In the West, there’s also the added difficulty that every transaction can be taxed additionally (depending on the jurisdiction).

It’s already hard enough to reach Muslims. For us, there’s an additional argument: the absolute prohibition of Riba (usury) and the strong recommendation to deal with sound money, which is not based on debt-driven creation out of thin air. The independence from banks or other fiat payment service providers, with whom Muslims often have more issues than other groups, is even a nice bonus on top of that.

That’s why I’ve also set up a directory listing merchants and service providers who accept Bitcoin. But the situation is the same there: it’s quiet.

As a freelancer, I’ve worked twice for direct Bitcoin payment, but that’s still the exception.

We could get all the environmentalists on board if they only understood that the biggest environmental problem is caused by our fiat system. Inflated money -> high time preference -> shorter-lived products -> more waste. But the green intellectuals just don’t get it.

Anyone who complains about societal degeneration, the decay of cultural life and fine arts, and the decline of families would be helped in the same way in the long term.

So, I don’t have an answer to your questions, and I think the right attitude can only come from the individuals and their sense of morality. Maybe most people aren’t aware of how much immorality and suffering is caused by our fiat system. Maybe the pain just isn’t enough, and people have become too desensitized.

And this was an exceptional response. ⭐️
