Can confirm this. Especially people who are neutral or tending to left politics are really turned off because to them it seems that Bitcoin is a right wing project.

„Most people have either no opinion or a negative opinion of bitcoin because somebody tried to evangelize it too hard.“

Would be great to bring zaps to other protocols and more mainstream content to Nostr.

The problem is much broader than that. I've been trying to explain Bitcoin to adults and children for some years already, and I've noticed that for people to understand Bitcoin, they must first have to understand the problems Bitcoin solves.

Because of the indoctrination people have been subjected for all their lives, undestanding that somebody taking 60%+ of what you earn is a bad thing may sound like a "right wing", but it's not. Your government taking 60%+ of what you earn is plain slavery, and you have to understand that prior to understanding Bitcoin, or you'll get the usual "yeah, but with Bitcoin you can avoid paying taxes, and that's wrong".

So yeah, it's very difficult to explain or understand.

I think the first problem of the current system is that it’s built on credit, which favors the Haves and disadvantages the have nots. Taxes are diametrical the rich pay the least.

That, you also have to explain it, yes.
