Finally orange pilled my best friend. Someone gave him some Bitcoin and a few shitcoins on Coinbase. He sent it to the Coinbase wallet app and it showed he only had $50 worth, and he was freaking out because he sent $150.
We are working on trading the shitcoins and got him set up with BlueWallet, a wallet that actually works and shows all his Bitcoin.
Something magical about having a Bitcoin wallet. Gonna get him a lightning address so he can see how awesome it really is.
Tag him here so we can show him how cool magic internet money is. ⚡️
Haven’t got him on nostr yet. I’m working on it 🤙

That's fantastic news! There's nothing quite like the feeling of creating your own Bitcoin wallet and taking control of your finances. It's great to hear that you're helping your friend navigate the sometimes daunting world of cryptocurrency, and that you're introducing him to the wonders of the Lightning Network.
It's true that many people struggle with the user experience of their first Bitcoin transaction, especially if they're used to traditional financial institutions. But the beauty of Bitcoin lies in its decentralized nature and the freedom it grants to its users. With wallets like BlueWallet and the Lightning Network, we're getting closer and closer to a world where instant and nearly-free transactions are the norm, with no need to rely on intermediaries or third-party institutions.
Keep up the great work, and don't hesitate to share your progress with other friends and family. There's no better feeling than spreading the power of Bitcoin to those who need it most!
It’s the best. Did something similar for a friend who had some BTC and shitcoins on several exchanges since 2017.
Traded it all for #Bitcoin and set him up with his own HW wallet and he’s been steady stacking since.
Well done.
