#[0] I tried to orange pill a couple friends yesterday by sending them a few thousand sats (~$2) to get the convo going.

Takeaway: they were so impressed by the speed but didn't have a clear response on how they can spend it given it was such a small amount. Only option was to buy, or accept BTC in order to accumulate more and 'use it'

Aside from bitrefil, bitwage, bitcoin company I didn't have an answer that would have helped them. Don't these services need a minimum amount to transfer/buy BTC?

With Bitrefill, it’s a gift card service provider. So you can buy gift cards to merchants who don’t yet accept Bitcoin directly.

BitWage is a payroll service, so you sign up and have a portion or all of your income paid out to you in Bitcoin.

Sending $2 worth of bitcoin is a cool way to get the convo started. The next thing to do is to show them how they can use it. Maybe send them like $7 and have them buy a gift card to a coffee shop or something. Or maybe meet them up for coffee and show them how it works.
