Also, if he is buying Gold then he’s closer to understanding Bitcoin than most Normies
Discussion
That's why I tried to talk to him
And this was 9 hours ago now, and I'm still frustrated when I think about it
I can't help but feel like if I had made better points or done something better, I could've helped him understand something different
He hates social media tho, but is somewhat intrigued by the idea of Nostr and how it takes control away from others and puts it in your hands
So working on getting him on here
Does he own any Bitcoin?
He sees the Need for Hard Assets. So he will ultimately LOVE Bitcoin…
What is his Main Objection or Concerns?
Remember, we can lead a horse to water…but we can’t make him drink. He’ll do that when he’s ready
No
Hates the idea of a digital currency
And refuses to learn about it
Like he's right at the cusp of understanding why it's better
But. Doesn't. Want. To. Drink.
Last Resort: Buy $100 worth of Bitcoin for him. Tell him he can Buy it back for $100 whenever he is ready.
Put it in Cold Storage. Now he owns Bitcoin. I’ve done this with the extra stubborn people in my life. Typically their interest level moves up. He will keep one eye on the price and start to feel the FOMO eventually (might take a couple years)…but it’s a marathon not a sprint.
Ultimately, he’s responsible for his own decision to not purchase it… And he will have to live with the consequences
I'll stick 100 sats in an account for him🤣🤣
It ain't that deep
If he was more willing to learn or be open minded, I'd consider it
But I'd rather zap it out or put it aside for family
Getting him on here might be a stepping stone for him.
I hope so
He's intrigued by the relays and how all that works
Idk how interested I can get him in actually engaging on here and learning
