You are too kind! I’m just an 80 IQ pleb.

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. ā€œIt’s always a good timeā€. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. ā€œEvery time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.ā€

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. ā€œI can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like youā€. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like ā€œsorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean itā€. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

I’m sorry Hodl that is rough.

Not all losses are losses. I think many of us found out that the hard way during the pandemic.

Doesn’t make it any easier, but I feel you.

I stopped trying to Orange pill really in 2023 not because of a story like this but just burnt out from trying and they will come to me when they have questions and they are ready.

Looks like this doesn’t work and my work around is copying npubs into Mutiny to send zaps manually. Thanks for the help though.

Does that mean I have to only do it on a browser where it is open or can I leave Mutiny online in the background of a phone?

Can anyone help me out?

I linked my Npub into Mutiny and also linked Mutiny into Damus, but zaps aren’t working when I try them in Damus, but doesn’t give me an error message and zaps aren’t being subtracted from my Mutiny balance so looks like they are not going through.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
