And why it is far better to meet them where they are and ask questions so they figure out themselves rather than tell them they’re wrong.
Discussion
Welcome Jeff!
With my students and my friends, I never tell them that Bitcoin is the solution. Instead, we discuss and explore the problems. We use the past as our guide and inquire how we got here. Then I present bitcoin and let them discover the ways in which it may solve the problems we identified. Some do, some don’t. It’s been way better than “telling” them it’s the only solution.
I do this exact same scenario (must be a teacher thing 😏🤝🏾). See 👀 the problem, find best possible solution ✅
Very similar idea as to what #[2] eluded to regarding meeting them where they are at. In hindsight, that’s where we were many many moons 🌙 ago, fortunately!

💯 Jeff’s a great teacher and I always enjoying reading/listening to his point of view.
When I was young my grandfather wouldn’t speak when he taught me things. I remember just watching him. He would ask me a question, then simply nod when I had answered and continue his task. He wouldn’t tell me if I was right, or wrong. He wouldn’t teach, he would simply show. He would take me outside and tell me stories. We need to tell more stories, show rather than tell, and question rather than answer.
Awesome 👏🏽
In ancient Hawaii, #Kumu (teacher) would instruct through storytelling, as well. It was common practice to pass down knowledge to the #Keiki (children/NextGen). They would couple that would demonstrations/experiences as means of learning, too.
Unfortunately, storytelling is somewhat of a forgotten (less practiced) common/critical practice.
