I was just thinking about this the other day myself. You should approach persuading normies by making points that matter to them, and not necessarily what you think is important. If they're environmentalists, approach them by saying mining could capture wasted energy. If they're anti-capitalists types, explain how the current system benefits the rich and politically connected (this one can sometimes be tough for me as a staunch capitalist/private property advocate). If they're statists and love the dollar, explain to them that Bitcoin might be the dollars only option to maintain reserve status.

Whatever it is, I think it's far more effective to show how it's beneficial to their beliefs rather than saying their beliefs are wrong (even if they are).

Also, fuck the government 😂
