Damn i still struggle to talk to family members about btc. A part of me wants to sit them all down and have a btc meeting to make them see what we bitcoiners see. Another part of me feels like giving up on them all. All i get is either blank stares or the attitude of "Its just another fad." I think i'm done with it.

Are you a Cristhian? If so, read the bible... Salvation is individual. The effort only qorth it for those really close to you...

One day Maria they will just tell you “we should have listened to you”. But don’t stop. Keep going! Talk to them until you convince them. I know someone for 10 years he is very against on bitcoin but late last year this fellow purchased!

Keep it up!

I stopped evanglizing a few years back. Now I just let them know it's still how I denominate my life. Over time a few of them have watched how that's working and decided it was worth learning more. I'm all about teaching anyone who wants to learn but if people don't want to learn that's their problem. they will end up here eventually..

I relate. Also the "it's not real money" 😂 no one understands what "real" even means when it comes to money

Yes! One of them referred to btc as fiat.

I don't think my family even knows the term fiat 😂

Some are simply not teachable. I prefer to choose who to waste my time teaching with.

Somtimes its helpful to explain to them that the only thing that makes fiat money "valuable" is the simple fact that we as a society ascribe value to it. I.e. we get money for the sake of spending it on other things. Other than that fiat paper money isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

It doesn't always work as people are stubborn as fuck. But it can be helpful to lay this point at their feet and let them decide if Botcoin has any real value. Atleast you tried. Then when they come crying to you at 150k you can be like I told you to buy bitcoin you ignored me

The struggle is real.

I dont even bother. My mother is in her 70's and still thinks the government looks out for people.

My sister is in the banking industry.

Just means more for me to buy 🤣

99% of people are probably just never going to be interested no matter what you say until they really really need it themselves. But even then, chances are they might realize all the problems with the fiat system and decide that buying GameStop is the solution. It’s usually just going to end up in a huge I Told You So and they’ll have to jump on the train later.

Rather than conceding, adjust your strategy:

I suggest investing your time solely on the Remnants (the mavericks), and ignore the cattle contentedly grazing on their paper promises.

I just send them good videos or make specific points. I’m not very persuasive :). Here is a good deep dive by Saylor : https://youtu.be/cifuTy4fBfg?feature=shared

Thank you, i'll check this out.😊

And the higher the price goes, the wider my smile gets :).
