Hung out with some normie friends today. I didn't mention bitcoin at all, but they were bringing it up every five minutes. Mostly in a joking manner, but the frequency was odd.
I didn't say anything.
After trying to orange pill them for the last year or two I am watching them walk right into the FOMO rocket 🚀
They probably expected you to be moon boy and were disappointed when you played it cool. Win.
You're right. They were probably hoping I'd get wound up. Didn't even cross my mind.
We are in a bear market until ATH as far as I'm concerned 😂
I have that with normie relatives. Tried to orange pill them for a while but they don't want to study Bitcoin or put forth effort to learn - just want someone to download info to them and do it for them. Creatures of the fiat system with no intellectual curiosity, no motivation and no critical thinking skills. I gave up - some people can't be saved from themselves.
At a certain point I usually just step back and say, "Whenever you decide to look into it hit me up and I will point you in the right direction."
I still want to be a resources and help them, but using their energy. Not mine
You're a better person than me. I just got to the point I dropped it and quit trying. I decided I wasn't going to be able to help those that don't want to be helped. If they reach out to me I'll help but they've to take the first step(s). Ball is in their court. My guess is when BTC is in the six-figure range they might...
I don't think I'm a better person than you. I can tell we both have the same intentions based on what you're saying.
I put a lot of work into polishing my approach over the years and it's paying off. It's easy to get burnt out though. I actually wrote an article about this if you're interested:
