So I'm #exmormon, and I'm a #Bitcoiner. I watched an old #Mormon comedy for the first time in a decade and something hit me.

When I was learning the #truth about how my Mormon worldview was a lie, and I tried to talk about it with fellow Mormons, nobody wanted to listen. I was essentially seen as a conspiracy theorist.

I get the exact same feeling learning that our entire global financial system is a #lie, with Fiat improvising everyone and robbing us constantly through debasement of our currencies, and nobody wants to listen when I try to talk about it and how Bitcoin fixes it. I'm seen as a conspiracy theorist.

I think the main thing is people don't like making their own decisions, it's scary. Both the Mormon Church and the Global Banking System are seen as trusted authorities by the people within those systems. Leaving Mormonism/The Banking System is seen as the scary wild west so most people don't want to even learn about it... but once they do they can never go back. You can't unlearn that there's no Santa Claus.
