GM NOSTR Tip for #orangepilling: Don't say the word #bitcoin or #crypto, many people have big negative reactions to those words. Say #lightning, people have no idea what lightning is. Tell people how lightning solves their problem, play to their preconceptions, lightning is fast, it's amazing, it's easy. Pretty soon they're like wow this idea is cool. Now that they think it's cool, you can mention that all this lightning stuff happens on Bitcoin, but because it's confronting an idea they already think (lightning sounds cool!), they get way less defensive and combative, and they are inclined to agree with it because otherwise they'd have to admit they were wrong about that lightning thing. You are using their own cognitive bias against them. I have been using this to great effect telling people about #nostr #grownostr

Or stick to the truth and talk about the receiving and sending limits, and the need to also backup their lightning channels, in addition to their on-chain backups.
In the time you've onboarded from no bitcoin to bitcoin to Lightning, you could of just said, "just use a fast crypto like dash or nano" and you'd be done in half the time.
Just saying, sticking to the facts.
