BOOMERS aka OLD PEOPLE!

This question is for you.

What podcasts, audiobooks, or video content have you used to learn Bitcoin? And what would recommend to folks your age?

🟠💊 my parents slowly. They would like to learn more.

Thanks!

Ugh. That’s a tough one. I’m technically genx and in InfoSec so take that for what is worth. Also of the opinion that you can’t 🍊💊. Maybe plant an orange seed. It’s up to them to take the pill.

Mom is in the silent generation and some siblings are boomers….

Creature From Jekyll Island. Maybe Secrets of the Federal Reserve, but haven’t read that yet. 4th turning, sovereign individual, WTF happened in 1971 site, Price of Tomorrow. Notice very little bitcoin in these books. Ultimately depends on how well you know the audience and whether they’d be perceptive.

After that I may suggest a few old Antonopoulos, bitcoin standard, layered money, some of the What is Money podcast, or the recent WBD podcast beginners series with American HODL, Harry Sudock, & Held.

Those are all going to my list. What if any would be the Bitcoin for dummies? Like explaining the iPhone to your grandma 👵

I’d listen to all three of those WBD podcasts I mentioned and decide if one or more would resonate with the person. Maybe recency biased on my part, but I liked them because it was three fairly different voices being asked similar questions.

I’d suggest 1 and 2 to liberty-minded people. I’d send the Dan Held episode to fiat-focused that will need to speculate and hold before they figure it out. He doesn’t get into ideology so much, and that’s preferable to get past some people’s blind spots.

I really do love it when people say the words “I just can’t unsee it.”

It’s funny how you start to look at everything through Proof of Work eyes afterward.
