I was talking with a friend last week who I hadn’t seen in years. He was telling me about the lousy job market where he lives and how it’s impossible to save money when everything is getting more expensive. I opened up a message thread I had with him and searched for the word “bitcoin.” I showed him where I had told him about it several years ago. He immediately asked me how to get started.

I don’t want to be that person who only talks about one thing all the time, because that’s also how you push people away. Sometimes the only remedy is to give them another gentle nudge so they realize what they missed the first time.
