Guys you are in a mega bubble 💭
Very few people understand that bitcoin alive and kicking, that lightning is sick and that bitcoin mining is good for the environment

Nah, they can come here and discover it for themselves.
Then we stay in our bubble 😔
Most people need hand holding at least for the first few steps
Agreed. But the sentiments on Bitcoin remain weak for the fiat maxis due to the self created comfort zone they are in rn
You know how it is. A majority of people are not going to listen when we try to evangelize. Its so common that they go down the shitcoin path just as a kneejerk reaction. Its almost like they have to discover it by themselves. People don't like being told what to think, except by the mainstream media and authority figures. This is not the bitcoin way to appeal to authority. Just put out education material for the people who are seeking it out, for they are ready.
Did any of listen to our dads, no. Did we make the same mistakes as them, yes. Did we learn, yes albeit the hardway
In German there is a saying that goes like “you only learn/develop by feeling pain”. And that’s exactly how it works
Fair comments, thank you. I’m also aware that there are plenty of people who’ve never heard of or used bitcoin before. I’m also keen to meet them and show them bitcoin works before the mainstream tells them otherwise!
You can't save the people who don't want to be saved.
💯🎯 I spend literally years trying to show everybody around me why Bitcoin will be the future, why it has to be the future. Guess what?
They heard what I said, some even listened, few understood and almost none took action.
At some point I stopped trying to help people that are not ready, just because it’s time and energy consuming and the outcome equals 0. Love to help people that are genuinely interested though. 🧡
Same, and some actually own (even self-custodying after me harassing them about it) #btc but still can't get their mind out of the short term vision. They keep being depressed as soon as price tanks etc...
Still, the work is on my side, trying to stay humble and not forcing it into their throats.
💯 funniest thing though is that everyone in my circle is buying houses atm. Like come on. They even ask me for advise and I spend hours explaining them why it’s a stupid idea, but in the end they are buying though. Even though they get it and pretend that they think I am right about what i say. How can you not think “fuck ‘em”!? 😂
Yeah the idea of shitcoin/estate being the only way to park your $$ is also deeply entrenched, weird since it's quite a hassle.
In the area I come from it’s mostly because buying a house is something you do when you are around 30. Its marriage first, then buying a house, after that you get children. It’s so “common sense” that people really feel uncomfortable if they don’t fit into this scheme.
So buying a house is mainly to “compete” with your peers, which makes it even more dumb because everybody wants to have the nicest house to flex with. They even flex with their mortgage rate. No money in their pockets but 1 Mil. mortgage. Isn’t that weird shit?
Hahahaha this picture is gold
This is the right approach imo. They'll come to you once they are ready. My friends and family know I'm deeply into Bitcoin, but I never talk about it unless they are opening up the topic.
This is the way. And as their pain increases, they will come and ask. Would love to onboard everybody early but you can’t make the horse drink 🤷🏻♂️
#[5] I have found that they need, at the very least, to have a fundamental understanding of the current fiat money system... if they don't and, furthermore, see there is a problem they will not be receptive to the perfect solution that is... bitcoin 🟠
I agree. The problem I faced often though is that if you tell them how the system works, it’s so far away from what they thought it would work like. Which leads to a pretty heavy cognitive dissonance. I literally had the case where I was explaining all this to a friend and she really followed and was super interested. But turned out, that after talking to her husband, she change her mind again.
I generally think it’s hard for people to accept something that is a big stretch from their point of view.
People often believe what they want to believe and what suits their desires…
We’ll be bringing them here next #Bitcoin bull market 🚀
Exactly what my Gm post just said. Optimistic on the future ✊🏼
I think it all comes with time, I remember showing my parents and grandparents facebook and whatsapp when it launched and they were totally happy with SMS and calls, but as the network grew it forced them to adopt those networks and they figured out how to use them
we have to get americans to stop using checks for a start....insanity
