Instead of buying the BTC on their phone, send it to them as a gift from your phone. Let them witness P2P in real-time.

Hi ken 🏴‍☠️🤟😉 I think that’s a clever approach. It sidesteps all the complicated arguments and philosophical debates, getting straight to the action. By giving someone a small amount of Bitcoin, you’re showing them its real world utility and creating an experience they can’t easily dismiss. Sometimes, the best way to introduce someone to something is through action rather than words.

By walking away, you’re leaving them with something tangible to ponder, making it personal and less about preaching. It’s subtle but effective! It’s like planting a seed sometimes people just need a nudge to spark curiosity.

Strike has KYC. That's why I prefer cashu.

Great analogy Doc. Some of the beliefs NPCs have are bat shit crazy, it's hard to get any sense into them. Doing could be the best way.

The last bit about buying a small amount, or better yet gifting it, is the exact strategy Roger Ver employed in much earlier days of BTC.

What I do is download the Aqua wallet on their phone and send a few sats to it on the Liquid network. It's almost instant & no KYC.

Sadly, most people don’t value something just given to them if they don’t know what it is or why it is valuable. I’ve gifted small amounts over the years and most of the Bitcoin was lost. Perhaps it is a bit safer if you use Strike or CashApp, but I bet most will just sell it for cash and move on.

This is essentially what nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgkhjsen says. People have to feel it for themselves, then they begin to believe in it. The purpose behind the #bitkey's design, looking like a rock, is to help with this psychology (according to Jack.) I don't know that it needs to go that far, maybe for some, but experiencing the process of using a wallet, storing the seed, seeing the transaction on the public blockchain; this is how I first "felt" bitcoin. Then comes the real questions, the ones you try to answer first, the ones you are trying to use to orangepill. Those answers are only useful after the initial orangepill, which is the real conversion. Understanding why bitcoin is not only necessary, but the only solution and a true miracle, through "brain surgery" is only the prelude.

Yes, have a lighthing wallet ready to with 1,000 sats (or open up the nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgfqd63n app) then send. I use nostr:npub1ajlrwgfj4yerhqf7ady03h7wmtk2qr3gs7h3sxcx83k05yld36sswpzx3q which accepts onchain, lightning and nostr:npub1nyyhnqahf3cgqzcc927x7eqyd2msgplfe27ddn6hpgu2m200wh2s0s7gan. Great for newbies to see their sats and the btc price at the same time

Is it really that fast to set up Strike and start buying, or do you mean get them set up with something so you can send them some of your sats?

I've tried Coinbase, Swan, River and Primal. Buying through Primal was hands down the closest thing to an instant experience.

The point at which I typically lose people is "now connect it to your bank account." They seem to be more afraid of the exchange stealing their fiat out of their bank account than anything else.

What I wrestle with is the sense of responsibility to make sure people I orange pill don’t rug themselves by not getting on the path of continual learning and upgrading of skills required to safely self custody their holdings. Most people can’t even safely store their important non-Bitcoin related passwords.

I send Bitcoin as a gift to friends for various things like having a baby or for their birthdays. ALL of them had their Bitcoin more than double by now but none have gone down the rabbithole. Staying poor is a choice 🤷‍♂️

I enjoyed hearing you on BTC sessions yesterday. Rock on 🤘

If it’s too easy they’re probably a fed.

“Just try it for 90 days” becomes “just try it for 4 years”

Frankly that’s about all it should take but sadly 4 years may as well be 40 for most folks

Starting my crypto trading journey has been an incredible experience, especially with the guidance of my manager’s new trading plan. The financial progress I’ve made is beyond what I expected earning $150,000 is a great milestone for someone new to this space. The support from the company has been outstanding. If you're looking to get started, I highly recommend reaching out to Mrs. Susan. You can email her at susandemorirs@gmail.com or message her on WhatsApp at +1 (472) 218-4301. She’s been instrumental in my success

You really should understand that custodial wallets offer zero of the properties which made Bitcoin interesting in the first place.

Problem, Strike requires KYC regulations. You would have to awkwardly enter your details in or the other person's. A better idea might be to install a good, reputable wallet app and then send Bitcoin on-chain or via lightning to that person.

In regards to the coffee thing, well... Lemme introduce you to Bitrefill and thebitcoincompany. You can go to either website or app and buy gift cards with Bitcoin on-chain or with Lightning. And yes, they have Starbucks gift cards. As long as they can add gift cards to Apple pay or Google's wallet app, then all that's left is to try tap to pay (NFC) at a local POS device.

Alternatively they could use a credit card to buy the coffee and then pay off the bill with Strike's bill pay. But that's only if you can get past the awkward part of putting in your info or someone else's.
