The goal of this project is to redirect the attention focused on the US Presidential Election to the topic of inflation & #bitcoin

This will mostly be accomplished in the later half of this year as we distribute yard signs that you can put up near other political signs.

QUESTION: Which do you like better as content for the sign?

OPTION 1: vote for better money

OPTION 2: got inflation? get bitcoin

Please let me know. Zaps for helpful feedback!

I'm not a fan of "vote for better money" because there's nothing to vote for on the ballot. Imagine...

guy sees sign

"hell yeah, I want better money, tell me what to vote on my ballot"

"wait, there's nothing on the ballot for this? you want me to learn a new skill and gain new knowledge? I dunno man, seems like a lot of work or a scam"

Bitcoin and politics have nothing to do with each other, as it should be. I don't think being election adjacent is a good look for Bitcoin. Elections are partisan and people's minds immediately go to "okay, so which side is Bitcoin on?" when Bitcoin doesn't have a side.

Got Inflation? Get Bitcoin is much better because we're all feeling inflation. I think the slogan is a little passive/vague compared to the active, singular action of "vote for better money"

I'd think about building the slogan around a single action that you do with Bitcoin that can help fight inflation on a personal level. Maybe something like Got inflation? Save in Bitcoin. the slogan should lead directly into a thing that the person can do for themselves right away.

Good luck 👍

Initially, I was more for the vote option, but I think you make some really good points. My biggest gripe with the inflation slogan is that I don’t think a normie is going to think of bitcoin in any way besides an investment with that slogan. I liked the vote slogan because it insinuates that you have an option and that’s a different solution to the problems we’re facing politically. But you’re right that bitcoin is separate from politics.

So now I’m on the fence 😅

For most people Bitcoin is a long term investment, like a savings account. all we can ask for is for the lay person to do a monthly stack with Bitcoin and get on with their life. Maybe they withdraw in two months because they need it for a medical emergency, maybe they keep it in cold storage until their grandbabies grown and we live in a Bitcoin world.

Totally fair and is primarily how I use it as well. But the normies I talk to always think of it as a “when should I sell” type investment and not an opportunity to build an entirely new financial system and why that’s important. You have to start somewhere for sure, but I’ve been trying to stress to people that this is more than a get rich scheme. But no clue if that’s actually working lol

it depends on the person. the smart ones will see the real value whereas the ones who see it as get rich quick were always destined to go down the have-fun-staying-poor path. kinda like how some people fall for MLMs over and over. just no helping them 🤷

I can get behind this sentiment.

I agree with you for the most part but even if we got that slogan going, people would bash it. They did that during the bear market when bitcoin was down and inflation was high. There is no slogan that can substitute for the time someone has to put in to learn this stuff. The problem is not the slogan. The people is that the people are retarded.

This is very wise.

Spreading awareness should be the goal - we still haven’t reached full saturation of people who would instinctively get Bitcoin knowing what it is

I really like saifedean’s view. He doesn’t think advocating for bitcoin is practical. People follow their own self interests. The real awareness comes when NGU. That’s how I got in and started learning. And that’s why we all say that you get bitcoin at the price you deserve 🫡🤝

Zach⚡️ 1y ago 💬 1

I agree - but the nuance is that people need to understand their options in order to discover what is in their best interest

I am fortunate to have not needed multiple touch points in order to go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole - but I never even knew it existed until late 2020

Maybe I was living under a rock, but in most circles Bitcoin is still essentially non-existent

It was only through a chance encounter with a friend that I even came across ‘cryptocurrency’ and within a year I was a full maximalist

The point of spreading Bitcoin “awareness” is to create touch points for people who otherwise would be interested but haven’t given it a second of thought

I had a similar experience but don’t belittle yourself. YOU did the work. Your friend can introduce you to it but he can’t make you listen to the podcast, read, and think about it. He can’t upload the knowledge from his brain into yours. And unfortunately, that curiosity that drove you to make your life better doesn’t exist in most people. I’ve been a bitcoin maxi for nearly 2 years now and I haven’t been able to orange pill anyone. No one cared to learn or ask questions until this recent pump. Even still, they are not trying to understand it.

Zach⚡️ 1y ago

It’s definitely frustrating, but don’t give up hope. I’ve had mixed results but there are definitely lots of people out there who are also curious and capable.

Thanks for the positivity - you’re right, it’s a very personal thing which requires an individual to do the work. Those who have heard but ignored will be back at higher prices.

Zach⚡️ 1y ago 💬 1

With that said though, everyone does get the price they deserve 🫡 part of this is personal cope because I wish I had been exposed to Bitcoin content earlier 🤣

Sato🇦🇷🍄⚽🙏🐉 1y ago

It's never too late.

And it's earlier now than ever will be

MAHDOOD 1y ago 💬 1

Same bro! lol but I heard about bitcoin in 2017 and I ignored it. Then I saw it pumping in 2021 and thought it was too late. In 2022 it crashed after Tesla stopped taking it as payment and I thought it was dead. But it came back and that’s when I started to take it seriously.

Zach⚡️ 1y ago

I first heard about it in late 2020 from that friend, but I don’t consider myself “orange-pilled” until I watched the nostr:npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y videos with Ioni Appleberg at the very top in 2021.

I take pride in riding all the way down from 69k - there is a maximum of single digit millions of people who can say that.

Everyone needs that first exposure though, and if it comes from a sticker saying Vote for Better Money, so be it! ⚡️
