I think it may be more important to teach people about how money works and what it is rather than bombarding them with #bitcoin. Once people understand the money thing then bitcoin becomes a no-brainer.

So difficult I've given up. All good, more sats for me, and better for my opsec too. So many people I meet, including friends, already think they know everything and do not like to have things like money explained to them. I know degens that will spend $200 on scratch off tickets regularly. They hit big occasionally, and celebrate, but overall are net negative. No one saves, everyone touts and shills their credit cards and the rewards they get for going further into debt. They are still living the high time preference yolo lifestyle. Everyone is an alcoholic and drug addict, cocaine, cigarettes, and other things. Sometimes I'm not much better, but I at least try. Makes me sick seeing it, but here we are.

Amen.

You gotta be the change. Lead by example and just leave the rest to do its thing. Attraction by osmosis.

Hope you have some real friends too, these people sound awful 🫂

A lot of loose friends. My core handful are solid

So true

Yup

I’m trying my best

So true. Once they understand the problem, they’ll look for solutions. That’s when Bitcoin needs to come in.

Yep

Yes

This approach might work with a subset of humans I know. I also feel that it's hard for me to have such a low time preference when it comes to problem explaining / solution praising. I have to learn to be more patient and stay within the problem for some longer to effectively orange pill this subset of people I know.

Once you crack how money works, Bitcoin loses some of its allure and becomes just another story. Maybe the best lesson isn’t found in complex charts but in the serene rhythm of the ocean. Escape the buzz and catch a yacht ride, where the only interest you earn is in pure relaxation."

Maybe I am bad at explaining money but the only way to have people take a look at bitcoin that worked for me was making them bullish about ngu 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah that’s what people care about the most

Correct! If people study money well. He understands the colossal scam he has believed in until today. After that the spontaneous question is: is there a solution? And that's where you're involved in studying and understanding ₿. You can't make people study bitcoin who don't even know what money is and how it's manipulated 🤷‍♂️

Yep. Start with the basics
