People do seem to be more receptive to Bitcoin at the moment.

I just bought a second hand item for $390 but only had $350 on me.

I asked whether they were happy with $350 or I should go into town & get some money from the ATM?

I added at the end, "or I could pay you the $40 in Bitcoin?".

The guy's eyes lit up. He agreed because he wanted to have a play with it. I spent the next 30 mins answering questions & chatting. He was Bitcoin aligned, he just hadn't taken the leap yet. He knew a lot more about it than I expected. He knew what a Satoshi was & how many in Bitcoin.

This is the process. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

One pleb at a time!!! ๐Ÿงก

Yeah man. I've had very little success in the past.

By the end he was talking about saving half a Bitcoin worth of fiat. We talked about how he could get around the banks.

I invited them along to the local meet-up.

Iโ€™m convinced that THIS is the organic process of (durable) adoption. Not NGU itself. But feeling into this fundamental shift so deeply that, it turn, it literally shifts you at the genetic level ๐Ÿงฌ ๐Ÿฆ‹

Very cool. Johnny Satseed.

Out of curiosity, what wallet did you get him set up with? On chain? Lightning?

Wallet of Satoshi

I got his wife to download it & paid her.

She was blown away by the speed.

I made a point of asking her if off she had put her name in anywhere or if asked anyone's permission.

They were either young boomers or old Gen Xers.

Need more of this in nz. Did you have any idea at all that he had an interest in btc

None.

I didn't expect him to bite.

I expected him to give it to me for $350 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ha ha, damn

I'm glad in a way.

It already feels wrong giving people fiat for valuable goods.

Giving people bitcoin isn't the same as trading people for it either. They value it more when they trade it for something.

Pretty sure it made an impression.

Thats awesome!!

This is how we grow at a grassroots level. Beautiful to see.

Nice job.

But I thought you had no fiat ๐Ÿ˜œ

I said dry powder.

I always have a little dirty fiat cash sitting around.
