Some days, I couldnāt care less if normies miss out on Bitcoin. Other days, I wanna shout āopen your freaking eyes and buy bitcoin before itās too late, dummies!ā from the rooftops.
Discussion
I've stopped trying to convince people quite some time ago, I think it inevitably comes across as "please come join our cult" in most cases.
What I do nowadays is simply wait until someone approaches me in real life and asks for something which might somehow be connected to Bitcoin, and then I quietly present an initial case that Bitcoin "might" be interesting and continue the conversation from there without any sort of pressure.
I fail miserably if I try to orange pill people the hardcore way
Thatās 100% me. I donāt bring it up anymore unless someone asks me about it.
But then I feel for those who could genuinely get it but havenāt found the right information yet while corporations and nation states are stacking hard. I know itās not my responsibility, but I feel that I should do my part to help spread the word.
Retail will be both the early adopters and the laggards. Institutions and governments will represent the suddenly phase.
I have onboarded my family, that was enough for a while, but when goverments started their adoption I became desperated about the general citizen not getting it. weird.
And then sometimes you meet people that are so close-minded and argumentative that I just want to tell them, "I hope you NEVER buy Bitcoin."
That too!
"You're not an economist TheBitcoinBattery! You can't run a modern economy without inflation."

š itās all so tiring
I stopped trying a while ago, you either get it or you donāt. And I think thatās the ways it was meant to be, the right people will have bitcoin first.
Yup, everyone is responsible for protecting their own wealth. Thereās only so much we can do to point them in the right direction.
As long as we are compassionate to ourselves every day, our compassion to others can fluctuate every day too āŗļø
