#MartasOrangePillDiaries
Episode 1
July 21. My birthday. 🎉
While the family worried about cake, candles, and whether there was enough sparkling wine… I could only think of one thing:
"Today I'm going to start giving the Orange Pill to my family!"
So there I was, with the family gathered, all distracted by the chocolate cake. I took the moment to plant the first seed:
👉 “Did you know that 21 isn’t just my birthday? The number 21 is special in Bitcoin. There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins. No more. No less.”
Confused look #1: my daughter. 🤨
Confused look #2: my sister. 🤔
The “here comes Marta with her theories” look: my boyfriend. 🙄
But I didn’t give up. I continued with a teaching tone:
👉 “Imagine if everyone in this room had to share just 21 chocolates… no one could magically create more.
That’s Bitcoin. Money that no one can print.”
At that moment, I finally got the first positive reaction:
✨ My daughter said: “So Bitcoin is like rare chocolate?”
And I replied: “Exactly!”
Mission accomplished: on my birthday, I planted the first orange seed.
The cake was gone… but curiosity remained… 🍊 💊 ♾️ 🫰
