In part I remind myself that if I talk to the average person on the street if they've heard of Bitcoin, pretty much everybody has. Many will say they've heard of Ethereum. Far fewer will say they've heard of Solana, Ripple, Cardano, or Fartcoin or whatever other shitcoin.

I'm also reminded of something a friend told me a while back that stuck with me: back when the Internet protocol first took off, there were some people that came up with new ideas. When you asked what their idea was they'd say "it's like the Internet... but better". In my mind all the shitcoins are mostly solutions looking for a problem, and their main "selling point" is that "they're like Bitcoin... but better" - which is objectively nonsense. That's the message that I like to tell normies.
