Sometimes I make fun of Ripple and Christian’s failed smear campaign with pictures of the skull on a truck (how much co2 did that thing put out) … then I show them pictures of a bitcoin circular economy in Peru like below.

Then their brains cannot compute. And I hammer home how important a system ruled by rules not rulers is and why Bitcoin & PoW is essential to human flourishing. It’s glorious.

If that doesn’t work… then I go with the global competitiveness angle and how much we are losing and that we are leaving. Then I say I will leave. And then I say it again slower. Then I say nice meeting you, we’ll follow up and please reach out with any questions.

It’s my art and more effective. They remember the meeting at least. And easy to get followups / sometimes we actually get referred to other offices bc we’re authentic and no BS but dress and behave well enough.
