#asknostr im looking for the singular best podcast episode that presents the clearest case for why someone needs to own some bitcoin. i talk to normies & no-coiners all the time & my best words at the time seem to fall short. aside from the books that present a great case ( nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak, nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv, nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe), what podcasts episode come to mind that normies can understand & get orange-pilled?

They won't learn from a single video.

Or ten videos.

They will find Bitcoin when they need it!

Focus on the people who want to learn and growing your network of Bitcoiners.

it took me hundreds if not thousands of hours of pouring into bitcoin to convince me to throw my entire net worth into bitcoin, but what’s a video that would turn the lights on for a normie?

The one you make for them.

I don’t have a straight answer to your question. I’ve noticed the same - people just don’t get it or don’t want to hear it. Even those who do, get attracted to different aspects of Bitcoin, as it has so many.

The visionaries are few, and see how things could be different and better - the best among them see how things MUST be.

Most are conservatives, and work to keep what works working. They will be interested only when they can buy things with bitcoin.

Eventually when you can buy things only with bitcoin, the conservatives will be the majority of bitcoin users.

You cannot convince non risk takers to buy Bitcoin. Risk takers buy Bitcoin and then realise not buying Bitcoin is a risk

Hmmm... I can't think of any single video or podcast off the top of my head. That said, here's what I think the basic outline should be:

1. The problem. Give examples of how our current monetary system is working against us via inflationary theft of our time and productivity, creating bad incentives for high-time-preference behavior.

2. The solution. Outline the characteristics of an ideal form of money. Don't mention Bitcoin yet. Just go over what ideal portability, divisibility, durability, verifiability, fungibility, and most importantly scarcity look like in a digital and global economy.

3. Bitcoin as ideal money. Now show how Bitcoin is the form of money that best matches these ideals, and why it is the only one, since other copycats cannot repeat the 0 to 1 innovation, and cannot provide the security and scarcity assurances Bitcoin has built up over time due to the distribution of tens of thousands of full nodes and hundreds of thousands of miners worldwide. That network effect simply can't be broken.

4. Objections. Deal with some of the most common objections, like "How can it be valuable if it's not physical?" and garbage like that.

5. Further education. Provide sources for those who watch the video to learn more about various aspects of Bitcoin, both technical and philosophical, as well as where they can go to get off zero.

Dang... I might just need to make this...
