What do you think about orange pilling?
Do think is good to try to do it? Or do you believe people should find bitcoin at their own time?
Discussion
I struggle with this… I think that Bitcoin is the change this world needs, and that everyone who starts learning about it ends up benefiting from it… but I also don’t know if you can or should accelerate that process for others…
An introduction is just opening a door, up to them to then go through 🤙
Both Flo, I think we have to provide information and also let time do its thing.
#Bitcoin has so many levels of complexity for everyone to find their comfort.
At social gatherings, I was always quick to bring up Bitcoin but tuned it back a bit to not sound too crazy but when friends get me started, ... ;)
Generally I think it's important to put one's weight on the scale. To help friends and family but also just people around me to get into Bitcoin early.
With new things, most people need to hear about them ten, twenty times before they look into them. Don't force people to "get it" right away but help them get exposure to the ideas.
I don't know, but I just can't help myself.
Fiat "is the world that been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth."
I don't start with "buy bitcoin" anymore.
I compare the price of my parent's house to gold instead of fiat. Their house is worth less about 16% less gold today than it was worth 34 years ago despite the 4.5x price increase and the tens of thousands of dollars they have spent on repairs.
Some people think nothing of it. Some people ask more questions. The people who ask questions are more likely to take the orange pill. I tell those people bitcoin is the way out of this mess.
I think the truth is good, but most people don't want the truth.
i usually mention it once
then never again if they not interested
Besides putting stuff out there in the world in general(in your case your art). If someone asks/shows interest, engage. But actively trying to 'convert' people is an almost complete waste of energy.
Also account for expectation management and the fact that you might be wrong/incomplete in the narrative you are conveying to others. Prime example is Roger Ver, going around telling Bitcoin is free, instant and private/anonimous. He created a whole bunch of supposed Bitcoiners with wrong expectations and dissapointment, frustration and eventually a fork as a result🤷♂️.
The art is more than enough Flo, it really is.

Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.
The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.
To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.
The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.
I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.
Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.
Please save me.

I find people have already made up their mind about Bitcoin at this point and it's getting harder to orange pill them. I started making a comic in the hopes of reaching the next generation while they're still open-minded and have a desire to avoid the pitfalls of an economic downfall.
Very cool idea 🧡
Link to the comics?
May you share some examples?

I've set up a landing page here: https://ratelcomic.com/
I'll be updating it as I make progress on the comic (I'm at the pencilling stage, on page 4 at the moment)

Everyone buys Bitcoin at a price they deserve. Try once for the people you love and mention in passing to strangers. Otherwise, Bitcoin is inevitable. It doesn't need people. People need it. They will get it when they get it.
Spreading Satoshi's solution is a moral imperative.
Begin with your inner circle, and over time, they too will propagate the sound reasoning of hard money.
Be persistent, because nothing great comes with ease.
ONWARD!
