my super lib aunt finally became pro bitcoin two months ago because “elon has access to our bank accounts”
she just found out “trump is pro bitcoin” and is against it again, loudly 😂😂😂
Discussion
Lord.
Easy come, easy go
🤘🍻
Sounds like you need to orange pill harder lol
My mom told me yesterday… but me some Bitcoin.
I’m so proud. 🥲
All roads lead to Roam :-) ..
😂
Show her The Progressive Bitcoiner
If there are no underlying principles to back your positions you’ll change with the breeze, propaganda and or trends.
Guiding principles will sometimes put you in a position to stand up for your enemies but you’ll leave with some self respect.
Tell her he's not. He's a shitcoiner. 👊
Unfortunately true. Is there a boomer out there who actually understands bitcoin
1st principle thinking 🤣
Cognitive dissonances eventually coalesce to the truth.
Mandibles then bitcoin standard.
Get her on the pod, I’m sure she’d be a hoot 😂
ahah I know the blind polarization is crazy! On some articles about government blocking ACH and some comments were like "they're gonna forcibly make everyone use bitcoin to pump it up and control your money", as if that makes any sense at all...🤦♂️
Can't help some people
Staying true to the tribe
Bitcoin is for enemies, and enemies of your enemies.
🤣🤣🤣 Too many heads on swivels. Deep breaths. STAY HUMBLE, STACK SATS.
You shouldn't mock the retarded nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx thats very 2008 and they can't help it
This is the most American thing I’ve ever read. Vast majority are just so stuck in their politics they can’t even think about something removed from red or blue.
This is exactly my feelings on this - it’s not a blue or red thing. WAKE UP every one.
Wow

Most of my friends and my whole family. My one sister accuses me of being a conspiracy theorist. One of my friends is an IT guy has had a computer since he was 10, in the 80’s that was rare, and he won’t even read the white paper. WTF?
Sorry to hear. Yeah it’s wild how defensive people are when they don’t know any different. One of best friends who is one of the smartest people I have ever known won’t talk to me about it. Thankfully I have orange pilled the majority of my small group of close friends. Family is really hard.
Yes family is tough. I have 2 friends that own some Bitcoin on exchanges. Both too scared of losing it. One friend an older guy 78 I think, but he sold recently to finish the vineyard in his backyard. I can’t blame him for that since he doesn’t have kids to pass it on to. Once I discovered the twitter Bitcoin community it was a breath of fresh air and now Nostr. I love my Bitcoin family
what i struggle with is when they have a topic they deem to be of similar importance/urgency (e.g. climate change) and I’m the one supposedly on the titanic
Stay strong Tim! The climate change thing is so emotional for people it almost becomes untouchable for me. I have to just nod and hope they stop felling bad for living.
I tell you the difference.
Did you get your world view solely from mainstream media or alternative media.
Or did you do your own research asking hard questions. Who could profit? What could be underlying agendas? Are people or institutions dependent on public money? Are they pressured into something?
If you conclude all that is not the case then youbcan weigh probabilities based on your subjective knowledge or feeling on a topic. That doesn't mean you are smarter. Just that your position will be based on reality with a much higher probability.
ya except if i tried to explain that the conversation would devolve into values judgments and ad hominems. i mean i’m all for doing things in a way that doesn’t trash our environment but where I take up issue is when they tell me how I should be living my life (and it usually involves making yourself so small that you use essentially no energy or (somehow) giving them a license to impose authoritarian rules on you)
Logical...
HFSP Aunty
Scream and shout! 😱
LoL 🤣
Go to her house in secret and cut her cable in a hidden spot. These people need to disconnect. Detox
Schismogenesis is a hell of a drug.
Tell her about Monero.
I haven't heard Trump mentioning it once. Most normies still have a sense, that (digital) cash is something they control.
This is a real litmus test for you as well. Would you sacrifice adoption over your personal beef between Monero and Bitcoin?
Stack a little extra for her
Elon definitely wants to steal the $1000 in your bank account.
LooooooL! She’ll be back
Ok, but Trump is not pro bitcoin.
Trump is just pro Trump.
Odell doesn’t know that. He thinks Trump is sliced bread.
This is interesting how people react.
Always DYOR :)
Don't tell her Trump also breathes air 🤣
Baaaaaa
Tell her that he isn't pro bitcoin, but actually pro ETH. Judo her into a toxic ETH hating maxi.
Trump is not pro Bitcoin fucking morons.
Trump has done absolutely everything in his power to stop Bitcoin and cast daubt on it.
Only the stupidest morons on earth ignore Trump's actions and believe his words.
