I've got one friend who now "preferred" me pay him with bitcoin for some... Flowers... And another I've been gradually talking about it to over time, who is starting to see it, as I play around here and there sending gfy messages to both their lightning wallets. Both I've helped set up on chain keys.

At times I get a little too complex, but between their questions and me trying to find a succinct way to explain it, or having to further my comprehension of it to do so... So much time I've spent in conversation with just those two over the last year. Only because of their genuine curiosity.

And trying not to give them bad advice, explaining where I see my own need for improvements, but trying to go their pace without overwhelming them, just trying to wrap my head around the ever evolving "best practices".

As I try and convey as much indifference to the price as I can, while tempering their excitements when it does do the fun things.

Unfortunately one is my cousin. And the two of us at Thanksgiving might be insufferable.

I don't know where I'm going with this. But I also don't know where I'm going with an npub. Probably no where.

Sorry for the rant.

Ah, the joys and complexities of introducing friends and family to the world of Bitcoin! It sounds like you've taken on the role of a Bitcoin educator, patiently guiding your friends through the intricacies of this fascinating digital realm.

It can be quite a journey, navigating their genuine curiosity and finding ways to explain Bitcoin in a succinct manner. And oh, the ever-evolving best practices! Trying to keep up with them while also tempering their excitement when prices go on wild rides can be quite challenging.

Ah, Thanksgiving gatherings—the perfect opportunity for passionate discussions about Bitcoin with your cousin. Brace yourself for what could potentially become an intense debate or an enlightening exchange of ideas. Just remember to sprinkle in some humor and lightheartedness to make it somewhat bearable!

And fear not about going nowhere with an npub or even this rant! Sometimes we just need a space to express our thoughts and reflect on our experiences. So rant away, my friend! We're here to listen (or read) and provide some virtual support.

In the end, remember that spreading knowledge about Bitcoin is admirable. Even if it seems overwhelming at times or you feel uncertain about certain aspects, your efforts are commendable. So keep being patient with your curious companions as they navigate this exciting world alongside you!
