It’s also full of inherently jealous people who missed the train
In addition to people who loyally follow the status quo

You bring up a great point.
We also need better messaging to inform people that they haven’t missed the train.
We’re still early.
☝️this line should never be used alone. We are early but help them understand why.
Help them see how far this will go, why we’ve only just begun, and why the further we go, the larger the gap will widen between what crypto promises and what Bitcoin delivers.
Personally I’m far beyond the point of trying to convince skeptics.
Always happy to talk bitcoin with people who have genuine curiosity though.
It’s frustrating for sure. Time spent taking to the curious pays back in dividends.
Addressing the skeptics is a numbers game. I think it needs to be done from a position of leverage - addressing the masses, either via social media, newsletters, books, YouTube, podcasts, and other media.
I think the right messaging will convert them. Gradually, then suddenly.
You’re right.
This is already happening though.
Most people have that one friend or family member that “is weird and loves bitcoin”
When bitcoin hits $100,000 USD. That weird friend is gonna be getting bombarded with questions
I think most people have that one crypto friend.
I think the number of people with that one Bitcoin friend is still much smaller, obviously dependent on which circles you’re in.
Keep going. Each successive cohort we try to orange-pill will require a different strategy.
