GM nostr!

Comment in bar yesterday by someone asking me to tech them about bitcoin. I said sure, after you read the bitcoin standard. It demonstrates to me you're truly interested.

"but the bitcoin standard is over 200 pages, how do you expect me to read that?"

HFSP! Good grief we are that stage? This person is 52 years old, not an entitled brat. Crazy

Tell them to listen to it, then, as an audiobook. Everyone can find some time to listen to a book or an article, while they're driving, working out, showering, working, or whatever.

Hmm good point. I only ever tried one audio book so I never think about it. Prefer a good book in my hand!

I enjoy having physical books as well, but there are alternatives for those who don't read, too.

i'm sorry, not seeing how "this person is 52 years old" means he's not an entitled brat...

especially if it was a she (it was)

Fair point. Probably needs more qualification. But she's not a mollycoddled wealthy brat. That better? Considering the effort she has put into other things, reading a book is nothing. Maybe just modern world attention span.

But since then, i changed my approach. I challenged our local bitcoin group. Double the numbers in the group chat and i will put together a course and workshop for those who need hands on learning. Group already up 50%

cool

was more being jokestr than making a serious point

i happened to overhear your convo. good job keeping it focused lol 🤙🙌

We often abbreviate in text and meanings can be misconstrued. Jokestr or not, good reminder. Context is always important and i feel communication on nostr is better than the screaming platforms. Have a great day!
