I find it so interesting that so many Bitcoiners are the sole people using #Bitcoin in their family and struggle so hard with their family and breaking through. While my family is not going to meetups or listening to endless podcasts or reading endless books on the subject, most all have at least purchased some and taken custody of it themself. I would be fascinated to know everyone’s current family dynamic on the topic.
Discussion
Senior citizen parents- neither care to understand bitcoin [or the nature of money for that matter].
Older siblings also remain comfortable w/ their heads in the sand.
Nephews got loaded OpenDimes as starters + some bitcoin lessons/talks. The rest is up to them.
Orange Pilling is much easier w/ acquaintances.
Such is life.
Interesting. Appreciate the perspective. I have found that my grandfather and his wife just will not do anything about it, even if I’m right. Hard to argue with them given where they are at in life and the other assets they have. They want for nothing, and never will, even if the dollar collapses.
I have found lots of pure cognitive dissonance in my family. There are so many problems, but we don't need to fundamentally change anything. The govt is an institution we HAVE to keep because of the "collective", but it shoukd only do the things they think is right. They see problems, but think govt is fundamentally right and more govt and fiat will fix it somehow. #psychology #mindgames #mentalgymnastics #clownworld #nostr #nostriches #bitcoin #plebs #plebchain
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve been getting more traction with the, “just put 2% into it” angle. That seems to resonate with their “balanced portfolio” framework of investing.
As far as the government stuff, I’m pretty fortunate in that my whole family thinks they are a detriment to society. Hard to see where I got it from…
