'Here are some videos' is not as compelling as an in person talk, especially for people in the boomer bracket. Perhaps one could argue that the concept of diminishing returns applies to new recorded Bitcoin content, but to try to argue that the same applies to in person lectures is IMO retarded.

In person talk leads to buy my book and subscribe to my channel

Well while conferences are at all time highs and books / videos

Education seems to be at all time lows… how many “bitcoiners” still hold their coins on exchanges??

Sadly from what our team has seen… the vast majority

These conferences don’t seem to help

Self custody

Lightning usage

Peer 2 peer

Beating the hedge funds

Etc

All I hear is 21m hardest money ever in different pretty words

But hey if people need it all at snail education speed by all means enjoy the repeated talks

I just hope you at-least learned self custody

From what it sounds like, the talk wasn't aimed at established Bitcoiners (who are the more appropriate audience for the topics you mentioned). It sounds like a more fundamental 'here are some problems with the existing system of which you are a part, and here's how Bitcoin is uniquely suited to address those problems'. Perhaps it's hard for you to empathize with noobs because you've been in the space a long time, but these concepts are still going to be alien to people who haven't considered them, especially if they've been long successful in the legacy system.

Empathise with noobs

Here’s is something I either get told nobody is interested or don’t want to hear

2023

Opened lightning economy between USA and Europe of 5000 member organisations that only use Bitcoin and tether (from Australia) all new or never been bitcoiners

I work with the Perth Heat and push their Bitcoin baseball programs to new people never been in bitcoin… they have a stasforstats program that gives away Bitcoin to new bitcoiners

In Adelaide alone I’ve put 27 businesses to accept Bitcoin via Lightning as well as my own business has accepted Bitcoin payments since 2017 and had 7 regular weekly payers and another 8 monthly payers

I show people this…. And all I cop is no one is interested in integration or people don’t want to part with Bitcoin “from the presenters of these conferences”

Literally… nobody gives a shit

That 5000 crew took 20 minutes to have them all transacting….

No videos

No conference

Literally showed them how to use Strike and boom…

People are smarter than you give them credit for, maybe stop treating everyone like an idiot… because they aren’t… they’re literally interested in Bitcoin but get confused with all the content

Maybe orange pill someone… you’ll learn this

Thank you for spreading Bitcoin education, it sounds like you're good at it. Still, not everyone is ready for that level of participation. The majority of people are still convinced Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme that's boiling the oceans. You have to get past those hurdles (and a lot more) before you can be open to the practical applications. Both types of education are still necessary.

Do yourself a huge biggie

Head on down your local shop and suggest they accept Bitcoin… I guarantee u you’ll be surprised they’ll be infinitely curious

My strike rate on pilling since I went just on offering or direct is near 100%

I think you’ll not only spend some good orange… but utilise your precious time in Bitcoin with winning

Do yourself another favour… sounds like you’ve heard enough about Bitcoin… you seem like Orange pill good guy

Go do some real bitcoining with good people… sure point people at the conferences if you like… start taking the next step

Lead some people… Trust me 🤝

I like your style and what you're saying!

99% of bitcoiners are comfortably lurking on social media and podcasts. Consuming endless amounts of Bitcoin porn in their cushy bubble. Myself included.

So your call to action is appreciated. I'll see what I can do.

Let me know if u need a hand with custody options / wallets etc 🤝

This is appealing.

Can you please list the specific tools and resources you use to orange pill businesses and individuals? 🙏😃

I'd love to see a local circular economy take off.

It’s all in the post
