Only a Sith saves in fiat.

What would be the command to clean up the dumpster juice spraying around due to the aggression? I wouldn't want to get any on me.

You can't win, Darth Dollar. If you strike me down in fiat I shall become more powerful in bitcoin than you can possibly imagine.

I'll always be thankful to Elon. He helped wake me up to bitcoin... even if it was just a massive troll attempt having Tesla stuff its books with btc.

I still wonder if he and Jack hatched a secret plan to semi-sabotage Twitter in order to implement Bluesky's protocol when it's ready.

I should listen to someone who has access to an unfettered fiat spigot who spends like a drunken gambler over someone who is intentionally frugal with less?

Yeah, it's not a one-size fits-all thing. You have to meet whoever you're talking it over with where they are, not where you think they are or where you think they should be.

Some people need direct comments thrown at them. Others need to be prodded with questions that they can unpack and think through for themselves.

A family member randomly said to me yesterday "it isn't even real, it's just an app." I didn't even realize they knew the word Bitcoin, and I've never talked to them about it, but it showed me how simultaneously far and close people are from adopting it.

I didn't bother getting into making a case because I wasn't ready for that, but it made me realize that the work to understand Bitcoin isn't just for myself anymore. Shit's hitting close to home and making me realize that even though I like my relative anonymity and solitude, I've got a responsibility to at least throw a lifeline to friends and family. Also makes me nervous just because I don't want to fuck it up for them and close them off to it. Talking to strangers online is one thing. Talking to people you know and who know you is quite another.

Anybody reading this... got any pointers/advice on how to start whittling my brain to handle conversations like that?

"How many fingers are am I holding up?"

" He would know that anyway."
