I DONT HATE ELON.

I RESPECT HIM.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER.

Environmentalost are hard to reason with because their base level assumption is that 'the planet' and it's wellbeing (whatever that means) are more important than the wellbeing of people.

There’s this guy I had seen around town over the years but never spoke. He knew I was into Bitcoin and I knew he was into environmental activism.

We happened to run into each other and got to chatting. He seemed like a honest thinker and good conversationalist. He’s a biologist and I’m an engineer. We’re both thinking about systems, albeit from opposite ends.

Eventually we got into the Bitcoin topic. Specifically, its energy use. I mentioned how some companies are using the economics of mining to bring electricity to villages in Africa where it was not economically feasible before. I also mentioned that our civilization requires abundant energy for it to continue advancing technologically & socially.

He said he believed there were too many people on the planet and energy abundance would exacerbate this problem. I retorted with my firm belief that every person on Earth deserves access to energy. Anything less is a “fuck you, I got mines” attitude.

I don’t think anyone had said that to him before. He seemed shocked. And it seemed like he knew the argument was valid.

I hope he will rethink some of this before we run into each other again. Looking forward to another conversation with him.

Remember everyone, the best way to refine our position and beliefs is to have honest and open conversations with people we disagree with. No need to get angry, use it as an opportunity.

We ended our conversation with a smile and a handshake.

we are only what we pay attention to

92% of customers trust Word of Mouth recommendations from family and friends over any other form of advertising.

Adding #Bitcoin to your Brand is the ULTIMATE way to take advantage of this.

It's Niche, but it works 👇

If you're wondering why, I have 2 questions for you.

1) Have you ever met a Bitcoiner?

2) Did they want to talk about #Bitcoin?

The answers are YES

I know this from personal experience. When I first grasped #Bitcoin, I became the guy who wouldn't shut up about it. I couldn't believe no one else cared and used every excuse to bring it up.

I've chilled out a bit, but I'll still never pass up a good reason to bring up the Great Orange Coin with friends or family.

There are many like me.

So what does someone wanting to talk about #Bitcoin have to do with your brand getting a word of mouth recommendation?

BE THE EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT BITCOIN

Now you have a customer who is passionate about using your product because it has become the gateway to their drug of choice: Orange Pills.

Moreover, their identity has become melded into your product or service. They are identifying with YOUR BRAND and that affinity will push them to learn more about and hopefully buy more from you.

In the short run, you can get some of this association just by accepting #Bitcoin for sales.

You Bitcoiner customer is definitely going to tell their friend that they bought your widget with #Bitcoin

If you want a deeper connection, you've got to fully align with values associated with #Bitcoin and a common vision for a Bright Orange Future.

Fail to do this or break your customer's trust by having a different alignment and your brand will be destroyed by the Bitcoiners you once called customers. More on this in the future, but for now, Tread Carefully.
