Unless they are mature and open minded, can handle an intellectual conversation and even spend time on the subject for more than 10 hours

When I found out about bitcoin in 2013 and invested in it - I became fascinated by it, like others I would share my thoughts on it to friends and family. I would say over 90% don’t get it and don’t care to.

Funny enough you can be labeled the “weird crypto guy” and they only seem to be extra nice in bull markets.

Comments like “so I heard that bitcoin thing is up, how much do you have?”, “how do I buy”

I usually advise them on doing research first and point them in the right directions. I’ve come to grip that many in fact don’t care for the technology but for the money. Like most retail traders they ignore buying in the bear market and become bag holders in the bull market.

The problem comes in the bear markets. Despite what sound advices you can give, be wary as others look to you in a negative light. I literally have a friend who sends me each FUD article in this space like he is trying to prove a point. The immature ones blame you for their losses indirectly.

My closest sibling who knows I’m an advocate for bitcoin likes to rub it in especially in bear markets “bitcoin is a scam, it’ll never survive, can’t be a medium of exchange, all of those exchanges will go bankrupt” and when you make factual points you get no where.

It’s best not to argue but to allow it to take its course. Bitcoin and crypto is here to stay

Like many transformative technologies there is huge resistance and disbelief until it becomes part of daily fabric of life

It’s safe to say bitcoin is early in its adoption. By the end of this decade we can see CBDC’s take over and bitcoin will be much more adopted - only then will I think people see the value of bitcoin and appreciate its properties

AS SOON AS YOU TELL PEOPLE TO READ LEARN OR STUDY YOU LOSE 98% OF ALL PEOPLE.

FUNNILY ENOUGH THESE PEOPLE PROBABLY HAVE DEGREES AND CONSIDER THEM SELVES SMART AND EDUCATED.

AND IF THEY DO DECIDE TO LOOK THINGS UP THEY NEED A FACE AND PERSONALITY TO ADHERE TO.

SO THEY WILL WATCH "INFLUENCERS" ON YOUTUBE OR FOLLOW ONE PERSON OR SUBSCRIBE TO ANOTHER PERSON.

THEY WILL NEVER JUST READ A DOCUMENT THEMSELVES AND COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS.

COMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COMMON.

>but for the money
Imagine they took the time to research and found out bitcoin, in fact, is the money.

Yes anon
It's why I shudder when someone even mentions btc or crypto in real life.
No, I don't want to talk about it.
No, I'm not going to tell you how much I have ("how much is in your bank account?")

I have a very select few friends who I can openly discuss with.
I won't even talk to other close friends about it as it's not worth the risk

why not tell them about BIT since its basically the key to their financial freedom through the unstoppable decentralized economy that BitDAO is building?

I relate to this so hard. I don't even care at this point, bitcoin is the only thing I genuinely believe can allow me to escape government cuckery. I'm still buying and I will continue to buy it.

the requirement of technical aptitude + principles to use crypto is simply too high to not filter the vast majority of people, but that's fine. i've accepted that. maybe eventually people will realize being bad at computer stuff is not viable anymore and get good at it, but i'm not holding my breath.

>>52988908
at least if you said monero... all other coins including bitcoin are surveillance glowcoins. how are you going to escape government cuckery when the said government can track all your transactions and will easily find excuses to persecute you based on that? cryptography without privacy is enslavement.

Well, he's not wrong. Bitcoin has been hijacked by Blockstream and without tail emission, it's doomed to fail.
