You just gotta do your best “Opa / Papi…I hate the state but I don’t know anything about ‘the BiT-Coins,’ will you teach me?” Then let him run.

If it works out, you can slowly let the real depth of your bitcoin knowledge trickle out over time, to surround him slowly while he believes it was all always HIS idea. Take on “research projects” to “learn” something more advanced in the bitcoin space that you actually already know so that he doesn’t catch on too quickly - he’ll think it’s him who has inspired you to “learn bitcoin.”

He will brag to his male bitcoiner friends about how he’s orange pilled you, guided you to being a “real bitcoiner.” They will do rain dances and meat sacrifices to celebrate his good fortune (this is basically beefsteak). He will be a king in his own mind.

And by the time he realizes what has actually happened. That is was you all along. That it was always, always, you - it will be too late. Things will be too far gone - and actually he’ll admire the play, and even fear your long game a bit little bit, which will only deepen intrigue and elevate you in his mind, his little child mind.

And so, the puppet comes to recognize its strings as freedom. And you have won and it is glorious.

I believe this is what has happened to me. It’s great. 😂
