⚠️ You’re wasting time trying to explain Bitcoin to the wrong people.

Most never get it.

Some pretend to.

A few actually do.

After 8 years of trying, I finally figured out why.

I used to be The Normie. Awesome video! 👏

nostr:nprofile1qqsz85wewd25r9h9w93zk7xjewzel50t270zq2vntrpu8r6djql3xlcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhggzjew0 you will like that!

I knew THEY were the problem.

Great video, terrible sponsor.

what’s wrong with Casa?

It is run by Jameson Lopp. In my opinion he is a bad actor in the space. If not a shitcoiner, certainly shitcoin adjacent. Lots of great Bitcoin only options for multi-dig and inheritance planning.

nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp is not a bad actor. He’s been here building on bitcoin since before almost anyone you’ll ever know.

Casa supports ETH my friend. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what we’re doing here. Or at least what I’m doing here.

Yeah, I’m aware of that and the reasons. I was even critical of it in the beginning. Remember the 13% meme? I shared a bunch of those. But you might be surprised to discover how many bitcoiners hold ETH, much of it bought in the crowdsale for pennies. Maybe if there was a larger market for multisig security they wouldn’t have to look for other revenue sources, but obviously they made a decision to offer it to their customers because of demand. He’s also not the only person in the company who makes decisions. Just my nuanced and evolved thoughts. Ethereum is still a shitcoin and nobody should hold it. That’s also my opinion.

The “bitcoin purity test” means absolutely nothing and is primarily a way for Ten31 and friends to milk you for money.

Just because you do not like a shitcoin does not mean everyone should stop making products that support it. “I don’t like it so no one else should too” vibes.

Chainway labs who are behind the Citrea shitcoiners and bad actors were supporting inscriptions spam.

Citrea is their project that started all this shit and Lopp the bad actor and evil shitcoiner is inverstor in Citrea.

Citrea is trying to turn Bitcoin into Ethereum like shticoin.

i would disagree with that portrayal from the info I have

regardless, it is a platform that first and foremost promotes bitcoin self-custody relentlessly and they have built a ton of resources for bitcoin-only wallets and setups, which is in line with my mission.

i will never be advising or promoting shitcoinery myself

It’s a shitcoin company and you are taking shitcoin money, sellout

Indeed, I've been a shitcoiner for as long as I've been a bitcoiner. You see, the same curiosity that led me to bitcoin leads me to explore the utility of other technologies.

I'll never apologize for being open minded and curious. 🙃

The divide I see is between technologists and monetary maximalists. People who are distracted by what CAN be done, often miss what SHOULD be done. The smartest ones are the most dangerous. We have a once in a species opportunity to fix the incentive system of the most important tool humans use and you want to misuse it. To do so, you and others have been social engineering chinks in the armor (core30 as the latest example) since the code didn’t allow to attack it without changes. You present as a libritarian technologist who just wants to push the boundaries of what can be done but what I see is antisocial manipulative behavior and a drive for undue power and influence. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Sure, the divide is between folks who see how Bitcoin actually works vs those who would like for it to work differently.

And yet you have to social engineer holes in it for it to do what you want it to do. That’s like saying a Lamborghini can plow a farmers field because you welded a tractor implement to its rear bumper.

“If it wasn’t intended to be a plow, then why are there welding points under the bumper?”

It's a struggle, sad to see loved ones not getting it. But then there's also many things we may not understand either and be lazy to deep dive to understand.

It doesn’t load because of the direct link. Better to upload it directly. Rookie mistake!

Oooof nostr class of 2023 rookie mistake! Thanks for calling out, just fixed!! Hope alls been well at Pubkey these days!!!

Wouldn’t know, haven’t been there in 6 months. 🤣

Cheers! 🍻

Incredible

Omg "I like trains" took me OUT! 🤣

once you get it, you sell it and buy xmr

the normies have a right to privacy.

CASA IS A SHITCOIN COMPANY GFY

Glad somebody said something about this, but content creators have bills too and we can bring up questionable sponsor choices with more respectful language maybe?

No, GFY

Another angry 20-something, living in parent’s basement. Probably Aussie….😝

He sure is bitter and angry about something haha

You must be new here

You're wasting time trying to explain how cars work instead of teaching people how to drive.

Dude!

I knew you were good as soon as you showed up but I think I underestimated just how good.

Great video!

The system is not broken or mismanaged.

The system is working EXACTLY how it was intended to.

The system exists to exploit us, to drain as much wealth from us as possible.

You are fuckin right !! And i always think the same ....

Midwit skeptic here checking in.

heads-up: we looked for a lightning address on your profile but could not find one... u can get a free one at https://rizful.com ... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.

Duuuude, you literally said “billions of Bitcoin” 😂 another rookie mistake!

billions WORTH of bitcoin

Nice Shutterstock watermarks. 🤣

I got it, I got it, I’m just messing with you! 😅 But I listened to it like six times and I still hear billions of Bitcoin every time

Really well done. Steady conviction and honest conversation has orange pilled more people in my life than my trying really hard to get them to listen.

This guy is absolutely hilarious 😆

Fantastic video! 🤗

Dude. Great work.

What about Archetype 6 Post-Coiners.

People, many of whom were the early Bitcoiners, & are seeing the technology isn't keeping up with the times.

We've read the whitepapers, & quotes we know the devs wanted to implemented privacy, we see the bickering of pointless core vs. knots debates, and how financial interests hold back major changes to L1.

Bitcoin was a good prototype but technology grows, and innovates.

I will say of all the Bitcoiners, your videos, and nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cpr9mhxw309a382emdv9hzumt8w4ujumn9wsargwp58qq3vamnwvaz7tmzv46xztnwdaehgunfdshxxctd9a4sn7 are probably the most compelling videos I've seen so far since you guys actually care about the protocol, technology, and freedom, while a lot of other Bitcoin influencers are singing the praises of Blackrock, Michael Saylor, and Donald Trump instead of Satoshi, Hal Finney, and the others who made Bitcoin a good technology.

I am doing a “7 Levels of Bitcoin” video in the next few weeks which is exactly this topic - different depths of the rabbit hole

I'm interested to check it out when it comes out, and also discuss, if you're looking to get various perspectives from people.

This came up organically on my YouTube feed today and I watched it all...well done!

had interesting encounters yesterday with locals and some relatives about this. talking about btc and sats and they all looked at me blank 🤣 then I realised they're not ready yet. Lol

We're Orange Pilling with fiction stories.

Bitcoin. Secrets. Betrayal.

Mysteries of the Bitcoin Citadel

I’d be the type you’d describe as mid-curve. First of all, let’s clear up some misunderstandings. See, I fully understand, we shouldn’t trust corrupt politicians or states. They take our money and use it against us (like the genocide in Palestine). The powerful get richer while the poor get poorer.

However, when you look at corrupt states, you see they use force against their own population. So yes, they might actually turn off the internet. India did that in the occupied part of Kashmir (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/2/28/in-2022-the-world-saw-187-internet-shutdowns-84-by-india-alone).

Germany has a terrible past, and today they again support genocide. If you speak up, they’ll give you trouble. Corrupt nations don’t care about their people — they want to take their money and keep their populations as a kind of slave class.

The point is, I find it very likely that these same corrupt states will one day understand the power of Bitcoin and raise taxes so high that buying it becomes hard. For rich people, sure, they can move to another country. But for ordinary people, who might struggle to find a job abroad, the situation could look very different.

So, I wouldn’t underestimate the power of corrupt politicians. They’ll bomb babies and call it self-defense — memories of a state called Israel.

you have to plant seeds instead of trying to explain everything to them all once, most people aren't capable of critical thinking because the government schools have destroyed their critical thinking skills

Didn't know you are on nostr! 🤝

You're 100% right.

But I figured it out a little faster than you. After about 4 years of trying.

Focus on building with the few who get it. That's how we win.

Great video!

nice, but couldn't you have have gone to more locations to shoot this? lol

The sycophant clickbait has arrived

## 1) The Normie

- Fiat-Loser (Fiat-Mindset, Fiat-Behaviour, Fiat-Habits)

- Method for Orange-Pilling: Mention that If you bought 1 dollar bitcoin for the last seven years you would now have 100k.

## 2) The Idealogue

- Recognizes "all" the problems in the world and then traces them back to the false reasons.

- Wrong Mindset: The problem is the "player", the "scoreboard", the "referee" -> reality: The "game" is rigged

- Method for Orange-Pilling: Skip / Avoid / Ignore

## 3) The Midcurve

- Asks the wrong questions and gets hung up on them

- Method for Orange-Pillinng: Asking the question "Do you think the system is broken or mismanaged?"

## 4) The Skeptic

- Questions everything not just the monetary system but also f.e. the real truth behind the epstein files, 9/11, etc.

- Recognizes the totalitarian scheming, f.e. Digital IDs, CBDCs, social credit scores

- Method for Orange-Pilling: Point them to the Bitcoin Whitepaper; Explain them the fundamentels and technicals: PoW, Incentives, cryptography, etc.

## 5) The 90%ers

- Questions everything but also believes in something

- People who are already succesful and souvereing in their thinking and acting

- Method for Orange-Pilling: Your deep conviction about Bitcoin will convince them.

> Good Luck orange-pilling the different archetypes!
