Very few people understand money. Nocoiners, altcoiners, conservatives, progressives, old or young.

What is money jimmy?
I love when when people say dollars are valuable because they are backed by gold and silver. First off, no, they're not. Secondly, what is it about gold and silver that makes it valuable as money? They're just shiny rocks, but yet we value them. Then you can start explaining about money, specifically hard money.
I gave up, Jimmy. No one is interested in reading or understanding money. All I can do is mention I buy it regularly. If they follow up with a question, I answer it but most of the time there's no interest or follow up.
Be patient. They'll want to know when we get another ATH
Do they not notice your bags gaining weight when their bags are leaking?
You mean the made up money ponzi scheme? It doesn't have any value because there is no government behind it. It should all be regulated to it's intrinsic value.
Surprisingly no. My GME friend was excited that the company made a profit in quarterly earnings but he had no idea btc was up 70% ytd at the time of the conversation. He said he would look into it.
This is where I am too.
💯
Everyone becomes a bitcoiner when they understand money.
No. Conservatives are the ones that understand money. 9/10 goldbugs are conservative, Ron Paul, founders etc...
Also why Bitcoin IS political.
Hard money is the conservation.
Progressivism is the con that we need inflation.
Judge them by their progressive or conservative actions. Not by political party or stated ideals.
Sound advice 🤝
It would be easier to convince people when you can show it in action. Like if there was a pretty good POS system that accepts lightning. Then set up local business around town with it. Then list their business on some website so bitcoiners could patronage their establishment.
Absolutely agree 💯.
