One of the things I've noticed that holds back orange pilling and adoption is the tendency for bitcoiners to think in all-or-nothing terms.

Not everyone sees the problem with the government or the central banks.

Not everyone needs to set up a multisig quarum and run a node to protect their first bitcoin investment.

Not everyone is ready to accept the vision on bitcoin replacing every fiat currency on the planet.

There are baby steps each individual can take towards increasing sovereignty in their lives. Those steps look different for each individual.

To force my opinion on others regarding what those steps should look like is antithetical to the entire movement towards individual sovereignty.

HFSP and everyone gets the price they deserve I guess

Is this what you say to your friends and family when they don't understand why bitcoin is important?

Oh no. but Bitcoin is hard to grasp since you need to understand both the technology aspect and the monetary aspect. Family and friends mostly think Bitcoin is a scam, that it has no value. Even Michael Burry thinks this. The guy who predicted the 2008 crisis doesn't get Bitcoin. Imagine explaining it to your grandma. I guess it will get adopted by the gen Z and their kids. They are living on the net. They'll get it.

Cant wait until you say that bitch shit to the wrong person irl and he or she breaks your jaw. I would. 🖕

Yep, Bitcoiners are often times idealists. They're incapable of moving things in steps 😂.

I also see a divide forming between idealists and pragmatists as Bitcoin gets bigger

I'm appreciative of the extremists. We need them to maintain the momentum, but yes as adoption increases there will be a shift.

Luckily due to the distribution schedule the extremists will maintain the lions share.

All in balance.

I think extreme is good in regards to protocol but maybe rough if you're trying to get a boomer to a world view in one sitting 😁

Exactly 🤙

Steps are good. Pragmatism is a disease. Focus on the Remnant. https://mises.org/mises-daily/isaiahs-job

Name checks out

I'll check this article out when I get a chance.

I've added dozens of people to the remnant and pay add hundreds more depending on how long I have.

I would never put more than 50% of my net worth in bitcoin long term

Too risky for me

High volatility low risk imo

The main problem is pricing Bitcoin in fiat.

Not really, the world is priced in fiat. It's unavoidable until a much much higher percentage of people hold bitcoin.

Same thought

In fact, if you consider that the entire Bitcoin stack already belongs to someone, which is true, you begin to understand that people merely owning Bitcoin is not enough for it to be adopted. Just as governments in the past issued fiat currency already prepared to serve as a unit of account, Bitcoin is already prepared to serve as a unit of account. What we need is simply a relatively self sustaining community, or several communities, which would be even better for decentralization, using it as a unit of account, referencing the total wealth of the world divided by 21 million units.

That is what we try to explain in this article. It is an open thesis for discussion.

Bitcoin will only replace fiat when self custody and running a node are felonies. The Banksters will NEVER allow it any other way and to think otherwise is flat out delusional

Black pilled

Reality pilled.

People don't dream about money, they dream about things. Unless the nexus is clear cut then most normies won't connect the dots.

People need to understand the problem Bitcoin solves. Til then It is an abstract idea. Most people don't do abstract. Dabbling in bitcoin is not an option when you see just how bad Fiat is.
