Has anyone had any luck orange pilling yuppies?
If someone has been served well by the system, gone to the elite institutions in the world and you tell them the establishment system is broken and wrong, it’s hard for them to take it seriously. From their point of view the system works very well.
Then the tech yuppies seem even more difficult to interest. They may even own some bitcoin but they think the opportunity has mostly passed. Being in tech, they are wired to look for the next bitcoin. Being over 10 years old, it’s old news, not cutting edge.
I don’t really broach the subject with my friends in SF. Some are founders of tech startups others are leaders in FANG companies. They have always been supportive of me and celebrated that I started my own company and are curious about how business is going but less so about the industry itself. While “disruptive” is a buzzword they are all too familiar with, separation of money from state is far too disruptive to consider given they have faired quite well within the system that exists today.
