A family member randomly said to me yesterday "it isn't even real, it's just an app." I didn't even realize they knew the word Bitcoin, and I've never talked to them about it, but it showed me how simultaneously far and close people are from adopting it.

I didn't bother getting into making a case because I wasn't ready for that, but it made me realize that the work to understand Bitcoin isn't just for myself anymore. Shit's hitting close to home and making me realize that even though I like my relative anonymity and solitude, I've got a responsibility to at least throw a lifeline to friends and family. Also makes me nervous just because I don't want to fuck it up for them and close them off to it. Talking to strangers online is one thing. Talking to people you know and who know you is quite another.

Anybody reading this... got any pointers/advice on how to start whittling my brain to handle conversations like that?

Hey Friend,

I struggle with the same issues. Still less than confident, but here's a piece I wrote in an effort to get some of the people I care about on board:

Yeah, it's not a one-size fits-all thing. You have to meet whoever you're talking it over with where they are, not where you think they are or where you think they should be.

Some people need direct comments thrown at them. Others need to be prodded with questions that they can unpack and think through for themselves.

This is on point. You have to meet them where they are and move the conversation from there
