Do you guys even take the effort to redpill your coworkers, fellow students, friends, family, boss, aquaintances etc about the financial system? Telling them about the lack of financially literacy, how FIAT currencies are a scam, and maybe even taking the bitcoin pill?

I personally stopped, because if you talk about it they get offended in my experience. And then you are known as ''that guy''. They dont want anyone to tell them how to live their life, and a lot of them will interpret is as you want to make them feel lesser of them self...
I really keep it to myself nowadays, maybe I am resentful somewhat but people seem to like their life they live which is ok. Did you guys successfully helped someone out making it?

i used to do this compulsively 15 years ago, then i figured out its impossible to transfer knowledge from one human to another.
we are all born knowing certain things and later we learn the names for it.
we are shaped by genetic forces or something outside our ability to comprehend. its why politics is impossible.
so know i just sit back and let whats going to happen happen and position myself.

I've enlightened my brother who has now made a decent chunk of money, they're still afraid to go on headfirst and just stick to bitcoin mostly, but at least they're starting to wake up. Other people are just complete sheep imo

i have regular large cap stocks funds + some muni bonds + some paper gold
on crypto i'm 90/10 btc vs shitcoins (with eth probably being 75% of my 'shitcoin' stack)

with crypto i think we are relatively early (not super early but this is 2004 of internet early). my point on that is I think its enough to just buy the category killers and thats btc/eth right now. I've taken some small gambles in other shitcoins but i refrain from going down that rabbit hole since it just turns into wild speculation.

So does Sergey

I saw Sergey Nazarov while visiting Auschwitz yesterday. Every time the tour guide started to talk about the camp he would interrupt by yawning really loudly and shout "Boring! Get to the good parts!" - I don't think he was even tired. When we got to the gas chamber he screamed "Fake, there were no gas chambers! The Soviets built this after the war" and then started mimicking a Jew suffocating on Zyklon B.

After the tour he walked straight up to me and said "they deserved it anyway", and praised the Nazis for their "decentralized" camp system, but they could have used an oracle to "improve the process." He then stood on a podium and informed everyone that Jews were "vermin" and that he had made it his mission to destroy the "Judeo-Bolshevic World Order."

Later that day the staff found pictures of the Chainlink logo stapled everywhere.

Even later they realized he stole most of shoes and striped pyjamas left by the gassing victims from the display. CCTV caught him walking around Salesforce HQ in the pyjamas pretending to be a ghost.

I can't believe anyone would buy a coin made by this guy.

Makes sense. I might reevaluate my cost averaging and try and increase the ratio of btc to 75% or so

I did this about 10 years ago, then eventually realised that other people don't need to be redpilled. They know, but they've deliberately chosen to learn to love their cage as long as they have four hours of Netflix to come home to every night.
I stopped, and instead decided to blend in. Can fake it well enough that people I know comment about "that paranoid phase you had".

my theory on btc vs eth is that, SOV is something everyone needs, "programmable money" although super interesting, is something a smaller subset of people will need.
Further, SOV's have a winner-take-all feature to to them...that is the bigger they get, the bigger they get.
So I honestly view that BTC is either going to ~1-2M per coin or its going to flop totally. Its a binary option.
whereas ETH could exist forever hanging around some price where the market values its utility.....is that $500 / 1000 / 10k? I don't know....

This is something I grew out of when I was around 17/18 years old. Mostly because I realised a lot of people aren't interested in the slightest, and even if you don't care about wasting your time completely, trying to redpill people can be socially devastating. As a general rule, I tend to say not much at all; makes what I do say all the more impactful.

used to when I was first red/black-pilling myself but now I mostly don't unless I find someone who is receptive or seems worth giving time to. Most normies are beyond redemption and just crave to be ruled by the technocrats, so I just leave them to it,

I'm not sure this is true man. I heard to people at work today talking about how Jeff Bezos has vowed to spend $10 billion on reducing climate change, and how this makes him "one of the good billionaires". Where do you even start with these people? Sometimes I feel like everyone else is autistic and I'm the normal one.

OP here, I am somewhat older how did it turn out for you?
i bought my first stock at 14, and today I had a econ zoom class with an idiot lecturer boomer that told all of us its morally corrupt to profit off buying low and high. I was furious but just kept my mouth shut bc I am not the best public speaker. i now feel bad because i felt obliged to speak up in front of all the other kids that probably fed into this bs
