my contribution to orange-pilling society: I have a ton of these coins, and I’ll go out to busy places with lots of pedestrians a toss one on the ground, B side up of course, step back and wait for folks to find them. It’s usually kids who notice them first, and I just let them walk off with it. But adults: a different story. You can tell by their body language the ones who’ve heard of bitcoin and think they’ve just found a real one. Some people even start jumping and celebrating, so then I curiously stroll by to see what the commotion is about and tell them oh no, they’ve only found a trinket and that real bitcoin must be bought online. Then a torrent of questions follows, even from skeptics who would likely never expose their curiosity to a friend or relative trying to orange-pill them, but because they don’t see a threat in me, and I’m just just a dude walking by to see what they’ve found who happens to know everything about bitcoin, they open up like blossoming flowers. After I casually dispel a few myths without showing any overly hype-y enthusiasm, I’ll try and shove off as if I’m late for the tube, but then they’ll ask for specific websites to buy at and what are the first steps (well, I suppose I have a couple minutes), etc. tl;dr: it’s easier to orange-pill people, even complete skeptics, who don’t know you and therefore aren’t blinded by their predetermined notions that you might be trying to manipulate or misinform them. #orangepill #bitcoin
