Hey nostr, seeking advice 🙏

My brother is smart, thoughtful, and kind-hearted. He can also be a bit stubborn and _\\

He holds some Bitcoin, and is interested in it as an investment asset, but he’s not the type to be attracted to the whole financial revolution philosophy of it.

I made a comment in passing about how the media narratives about Bitcoin + global warming are problematic, and he quickly interjected “well, Bitcoin IS bad for the climate and that’s just a fact”…

I offered a couple of counter-examples, but felt myself getting triggered and knew I would not be effective at changing his perspective from an emotionally “hooked” state of consciousness.

We dropped the subject, but I’ve been thinking about it for the past hour. It’s important to me, and I want him to share even a glimpse of the hopefulness and enthusiasm I feel for how Bitcoin will change global energy production for the better.

But I can’t approach this from an attached (dare I say “triggered”) place, in myself.

Has anyone been through this kind of conversation before? With someone you love and respect?

I’m all ears and appreciate whatever advice you all might have👂🫂🫡
