perhaps this relates to people being receptive to bitcoin

So true!

Somewhere i read this quote "People want to be cheated, if you don't they become pretty evil"

Maybe it's too strong as a statement but definitely not too that far from reality.

At least in finance and politics, it's the rule number 1 unfortunately. I see it every fucking day.

Too much truth (in one shot) will kill you

Definitely a skill I haven’t yet polished

It depends how much you care or how invested you are in their understanding.

Wrote a book to ease my mother into questioning everything she thought she knew about money….. she’s up to chapter 9, chapter 10 is where Bitcoin is introduced. Hope she’s ready.

Completely agree. There’s nothing more powerful than a well timed, thought provoking question.

So true! I have learned that you cannot speak the truth and be kind at the same time, most of the time people don't want to hear the truth.

But if the person you're talking to, it's one that you care the most, sometimes you have to take the risk.

agree, this is something I was ever very good at from the adolescence.

I still suck at this. It's the truth lol.

Agreed.

Love the Shaw quote.

I’m still bad.

The truth is, if we are serious about stopping corruption, human trafficking, et el. Then we will raid all corporate boardrooms and political offices. This is no longer speculation or “conspiracy”. Follow the money, find the problems.

Additionally, we should turn off the printing press at the FED. Not because of #inflation, but because it is the dollars they incessantly print that the criminals drum up bad ideas for.

The truth is, incentives drive actions and we are incentivizing bad actions. There will always be good and bad, corrupt and evil, though every once in a while a cleansing has to happen. A jubilee is normal and has been forgone.

#bitcoin doesn’t fix this. But learning and understanding Bitcoin brings a level of awareness that challenges one to either continue to participate or chose a better incentive structure.

Let truth have its day in the light!

I also deliver the truth very bluntly. Turns out ppl dont like that. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for sharing your wise advice and Ill work on my jedi mind tricks 😅🤙

Or just tell the truth, bitch

Just tell the truth, no matter what.

No inceptions are needed.

Most people can’t handle the truth but it is on them.

Yes

This is so true. I have really struggled to articulate my thoughts whilst trying not to sound superior, judgmental or nuts. Certainly a hard balance. I think the old mantra of two ears one mouth says it all. We need to listen to people and then offer a thread rather than brain dumping on them in one big go. Much harder than it looks 😂🫡

"If you believe you have recognized something as truth, present it to the other like a coat that they can slip into, but do not throw it at them like a wet towel." -Max Frisch

🔥

It is your moral duty to tell the truth, but also understand that some people are just too far gone. No amount of tact will help with those determined to remain NPCs. Many such cases.

This is most definitely true, but how to get better at it? We have to become stand-up comedians, don't we? 😅

So Great Orange Pilling 🍊, Comes With Great Responsibility....🤔

Thank you

a big part of why memes are so powerful

yes.

💯% the timeline we are on that involves mass declass means we need to really start thinking about tactful ways to bring our loved ones into the fold as their reality shatters. truth hammer is fun, but not productive, especially if you want to preserve the relationship. need to meet people where they are and let them keep their id

Also that quote is by Oscar Wilde I believe.

Many people prefer the alternative truth! Not funny but simply convincing.

I hand-picked a stylized version of this quote specifically for you HODL, because out of the couple dozen I found this one goes the hardest.

also remember, it´s "your truth"

some might say you _still_ lack tactfulness, sir

My no coiner brother want to start a podcast with me.

He wants it to be something humorous, and he wants to include a technology and or finance segment.

He's a life long democrat, that thinks the government is on his side.

Not sure if I have enough tact.

Totally agree. The context and timing are just as important too.

Oh boy is this on point 🤝

I'm so bad at this....

I walk into the room, "covid was a scam." "Oh, can you pass the butter?"

Blind death all around. Hahaha
