What does “orange-pilling” someone mean to you?

Whale meat is roughly $17 a pound wholesale. A whale is roughly 250,000 lbs. So a whale is 4.25 million dollars. A bitcoin is worth about 30,847 dollars. Therefore a whale is worth approximately 137.78 bitcoins.

Absolutely there is still flexibility as we age, my only point is that plasticity on the whole declines from childhood, and “in general” it is true that it is harder to teach an old dog new tricks.

In the past few years there's been a steady trend of select folks, who are new to the space, preaching what a "good Bitcoiner" looks like; how they eat, what religion they follow, whether or not they touch shitcoins, etc.

There was nothing like this in the first few years after Satoshi unveiled the Bitcoin whitepaper. A cookie-cutter expectation (or in some cases a declaration) of how one is to live as a good Bitcoiner is antithetical to the openness of Bitcoin. "You must be like x, y, z or you're excommunicated" isn't the correct mindset.

The only belief anyone was expected to hold, or at the very least not even a belief but an understanding, was that the State isn't their friend, their money is debased and not backed by anything tangible, and there are those who govern that seek to only enrich themselves.

#Bitcoin fixes this. That's all anyone needs to care about. Anything else is just someone's attempt at forcing their own dogma.

For the friends who you’ve brought into bitcoin, what problems have you found they use it to solve for themselves?
