I really like saifedean’s view. He doesn’t think advocating for bitcoin is practical. People follow their own self interests. The real awareness comes when NGU. That’s how I got in and started learning. And that’s why we all say that you get bitcoin at the price you deserve 🫡🤝

I agree - but the nuance is that people need to understand their options in order to discover what is in their best interest

I am fortunate to have not needed multiple touch points in order to go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole - but I never even knew it existed until late 2020

Maybe I was living under a rock, but in most circles Bitcoin is still essentially non-existent

It was only through a chance encounter with a friend that I even came across ‘cryptocurrency’ and within a year I was a full maximalist

The point of spreading Bitcoin “awareness” is to create touch points for people who otherwise would be interested but haven’t given it a second of thought

I had a similar experience but don’t belittle yourself. YOU did the work. Your friend can introduce you to it but he can’t make you listen to the podcast, read, and think about it. He can’t upload the knowledge from his brain into yours. And unfortunately, that curiosity that drove you to make your life better doesn’t exist in most people. I’ve been a bitcoin maxi for nearly 2 years now and I haven’t been able to orange pill anyone. No one cared to learn or ask questions until this recent pump. Even still, they are not trying to understand it.

It’s definitely frustrating, but don’t give up hope. I’ve had mixed results but there are definitely lots of people out there who are also curious and capable.

Thanks for the positivity - you’re right, it’s a very personal thing which requires an individual to do the work. Those who have heard but ignored will be back at higher prices.
